Going Against the Grain

Ling Yu was originally a carefree young man, but overnight, his family was destroyed and he became a lone wolf seeking revenge. On the way to escape, he unexpectedly awakened the legendary reverse scale bloodline and chaotic spiritual roots. He was burdened with a blood feud and carried the shocking mystery of his family's destruction. He was forced to embark on a road of nine deaths called "the reverse path". On this road, he met Ye Xuan, whose life experience was also a mystery and who shouldered the responsibility of guardianship. From the initial suspicion and use to sharing life and death, the two walked side by side, facing the pressing pressure from Tianji Pavilion, the deadly assassination from Nether Palace, and the "Gate to the Ruins of All Realms" hidden deep in the fog of history, affecting countless forces, and capable of triggering catastrophes in the world. The frozen northern Jedi, the forgotten ancient battlefield, the forbidden place where the dragon clan buried their bones... They went deep into each desperate situation and uncovered the truth layer by layer. It was discovered that the so-called "annihilation of the family" was actually a bloody scam set up by close relatives, using heaven and earth as a chessboard; the so-called "reverse path" was a cruel trial that had long been destined to select the successor of the "gatekeeper". And their bloodline, Nilin and Bingso, is the key to opening that "door" or preventing it from opening. This is not an epic of revenge for one person, but a legend of a group of people breaking away from their fate and fighting for a glimmer of hope for themselves, their loved ones, and the common people in the chess game of the heavens.
