Listening to Rain on the Jade Steps

For ten years, I've been a good-for-nothing, the laughingstock of my family.

That day, my cousin's Earth-grade spiritual root shone brilliantly, earning him everyone's adoration. I, meanwhile, could only endure his scorn in a corner: “A useless good-for-nothing should know his place.”

Ten years of patience, ten years of frozen hatred, and the instant my palm touched the testing stone, it all erupted!

The crystal ball exploded into dust!

A dragon's roar pierced heaven and earth, and its might crushed all living things!

Everyone who had ever despised or trampled me, including that arrogant genius, had their bones and sinews shattered beneath the dragon's apocalyptic might, collapsing to their knees like ants!

Only when an ancient voice branded a cold warning deep in my soul did I learn the truth:

The Heavenly Dao of this world... cannot tolerate either of us.

I finally understood that my cultivation had not been drained and I had not been turned into a good-for-nothing by accident.

Buried deep in my bloodline and sealed away by my family's ancestors through forbidden means was the Zhulong's original essence.

Its opened eyes make day, its closed eyes make night; its breath brings winter, and its exhalation brings summer... It is the embodiment of chaos, an aberration against the laws of the world!

Now the Zhulong has awakened, and the Heavenly Dao is enraged.

The family that once cast me aside like trash now sees me as a calamity that must be eliminated.

The sacred sects, high above the world, have branded me an aberration that cannot be allowed to exist.

The laws of this world seek to erase me completely!

The Heavenly Dao won't tolerate me?

Then I'll bring down the heavens!

The rules bind me?

Then I'll shatter them!

Watch as a “good-for-nothing” rejected by the world bears the Zhulong's power to destroy it, treading over the corpses of his enemies and the world's hostility,

rising from the dust, step by step, to the very pinnacle.

With the Zhulong's flames, I'll burn away this false glory.

With a body of chaos, I'll smash this so-called prison of the Heavenly Dao.

If this world has no place for me,

then I'll forge heaven and earth anew.
