Bloodline as Shackles, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao
Luo Chen, a young man from the Eastern Domain, bears an ancient bloodline curse. Since childhood, he has watched his loved ones turn to ash under its power. Determined to break free of fate, he enters the Academy of All Races alone. He begins as a bewildered apprentice at the Human Race's junior academy, survives life-or-death trials at the Elven Race's intermediate academy, and ultimately rises to the divine-bloodline advanced academy controlled by the Holy Church.
Conflict Among the Races, Love and Hate Entwined
On this fantastical continent, where four regions and three seas converge, the Demon Race stirs in the shadows, the bloodthirsty Orcs rebel, the Dwarves forge divine weapons, and the Elves safeguard the laws of nature. Luo Chen's fate becomes entangled with the proud Elven princess Ailiya, the Demon Race's holy maiden Ye Li, whose origins are shrouded in mystery, and Yilinna, a genius young knight of the Holy Church. They may be allies or sworn enemies, but each becomes crucial to his quest to turn the tide.
Conspiracies and Truth
When Luo Chen reaches the source of the bloodline curse, he discovers that the so-called "curse" is actually a god-slaying bloodline, a shackle imposed by the ancient gods, who feared humanity's rise. In the name of faith, the Holy Church has spent a thousand years slaughtering those who awaken to their power and concealing the lies behind its divine authority. To protect humanity, Luo Chen raises his sword against the gods. He uses an alchemist's ingenuity to unravel divine magic, a swordsman's edge to sever the chains of faith, and forbidden alchemy to forge weapons capable of slaying gods.
The Path to Ascension
Awakening to a Profession: From junior magic apprentice to Sacred Realm Sword God, each step up demands that he cross a life-or-death secret realm.
The Struggle for Power: He must carefully navigate the schemes of human kingdoms, the struggle for the Elves' Sacred Spring of Life, and the Demon Race's invasion from the abyss.
The Final Battle Against the Gods: In a mortal body, he faces the incarnations of the gods and exposes the truth of the blood sacrifices behind the Church's "sacred ascension."
