As spiritual decline descends, the Ninth Epoch enters its final days. In the palm of Lu Chen, a boy from a mountain village, a scar from the Primordial Beginning appears. It is the final mark left by an annihilated civilization, and the spark that can rekindle the world.
The Heavenly Dao bears nine scars, one for each epoch. While other Hosts become fodder, reduced to fragments, and hunters covet the authority of the epochs, Lu Chen takes a completely different path: he stops plundering and instead bears the burden. He makes his body a vessel to hold the fading embers of civilizations from all nine epochs, and his heart a bridge connecting the wisdom and sins of every vanished age.
From the Second Epoch’s “Passing the Torch” to the Third Epoch’s “Construct Resonance”… With each fragment he fuses, he kindles a civilization’s defining traits. When the Nine Embers unite, he must face the truth behind the cyclical epochs, and the cold gaze looming over every civilization.
