The first time Chu Han coughed up bloody bone fragments, the divine seat in the heavens was undergoing its ninth tribulation.
The world brandished rumors that he was the reincarnation of a world-devouring god-demon and demanded his blood as a sacrifice. The elders of the Tianji Pavilion crushed the jade slip that declared all chosen ones must be executed, while the Blood Demon Cult's saintess knelt in his broken shrine, holding the Pact of Godslaying Bones. They were all fixated on the piece of spiritual bone inside him that grew hot, yet no one saw the other palm line hidden in his sleeve: the lifeline of the mortal Chu Han, locked in a struggle within his bloodline against the bone markings of the Godslayer.
When his dual personalities split apart in the mirror, and his spiritual bone took root and shattered the foundation of the divine throne, the fated one fought over by gods and demons clenched his broken bones and laughed. So-called divinity was nothing but a cage invented by those above, afraid he would grow a mortal's rebellious streak.
"The gods want me to become a godslayer? No. These mortal bones, born on a freezing night, will first expose the lie of the Heavenly Dao. Then I'll carve my own name into the cracks of the shattered divine seat."
