When the last ray of heavenly light in the Three Realms falls into the Demon Abyss, Xuan Chen's Heavenly Eye quietly opens beneath a blood-red moon. This is no divine vision a mortal can withstand, but the Eye of Fate, capable of piercing the depths of the Nine Hells and glimpsing secrets hidden for ten thousand years.
Plague runs rampant in the mortal world, and tides of corpses swallow cities like raging waves. Mutant beasts go berserk in the demon realm, and once-auspicious creatures become bloodthirsty fiends. Even on the lofty terraces of the Heavenly Court, gods are corrupted by evil energy and turned into immortal, indestructible zombies. Xuan Chen was once a minor celestial official tasked with protecting the Heavenly Eye, but a calamity forces him onto the path of adventure. Wielding the Divine Sword of Calamity-Slaying bestowed by Bai Ze, he cuts down countless ghosts and monsters in a living hell, only to gradually discover that the mysterious runes appearing in his eyes can predict every deadly move his enemies make.
The War God Bai Ze guides him onto his destined path, but never tells him that this catastrophe was fated from the start. Ling Yue comes from the demon realm, poison marks between her brows left by the herbs she gathered for him. Her smile blooms like a flower, yet she has no idea that Xuan Chen has already seen her future, with her life hanging by a thread. To save her, Xuan Chen must enter the sealed land where the Demon Lord You Ying is about to awaken. There lie the secrets of ancient supernatural powers, as well as the fuse that could destroy the Three Realms.
Every awakening tears at the soul; every romance becomes a shackle of fate. As divine bloodlines intertwine with the destiny of the demon realm, and zombies run rampant while the occult arts revive, Xuan Chen finally understands: the so-called Heavenly Eye God King is no glorious title, but an ultimate curse paid for with the heart.
If the heavens and earth have no justice and the gods fall silent, to whom should humanity pray for the dawn?
