Born a good-for-nothing, unable to sense the Laws of Heaven? Gu Xuan, a low-ranking clerk at the Directorate of Celestial Observations, discovers in the forbidden ancient scroll Ink Traces a power known as “Ink” that could turn the world upside down! From that moment on, his life is transformed. Hunted by the Directorate’s higher-ups, coveted by evil cults and demonic sects, and regarded by the most terrifying being in the scroll, the “Lord of Ink,” as the perfect vessel for possession, he faces a dead-end path of despair, one that is also a paradoxical road to supreme power! He fuses the Laws of Heaven with chaos to forge a “Mystic Mark”; he commands mystic fire and divine lightning to burn away the world’s corruption! Walking the line between order and chaos, he undergoes a frenzied transformation through one life-and-death battle after another.
As ancient secrets are revealed, the Directorate’s shocking conspiracy comes to light, and the world’s ultimate “Cycle of Reincarnation” calamity descends, can he, the one and only “variable,” use the “Ink” in his hand to write his own Laws of Heaven?
