“What you think is defying fate is merely a script written by someone else.”
Su Chenzhou, a prodigy of the Su clan of the Eastern Wastelands, has his bones gouged out and his meridians seized before being cast into the Abyss of Buried Souls. Deep beneath the earth, however, he encounters a ten-thousand-year-old corpse whose face bears a striking resemblance to his own. After fusing with the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart and reforging his meridians, he discovers that...
◆ The jade pendant his mother left behind can absorb his enemies’ blood essence.
◆ A blood-red bronze gate appears in his sea of consciousness whenever he breaks through.
◆ The woman he rescues has a serpentine birthmark on the back of her neck.
Exactly like the one borne by the Wu clan’s Holy Maiden, who died a tragic death three hundred years ago.
Only when he tramples the gates of the ancient clans in Zhongzhou and raises his sword against the Heavenly Dao does he realize that every truth is a reflection:
✓ The Starfall Eyes that granted him divine abilities are actually billions of threads of karma, monitoring all the heavens.
✓ The brother who swore to follow him to the death is the discarded evil thought from someone’s ninth reincarnation.
✓ Even the unforgettable grudge over his clan’s destruction has already had his memories altered seven times.
