He once wanted to use science to embrace a world of cultivation, and once created a miracle. But what responded to him was destruction from a higher-dimensional civilization that completely crushed all its beauty.
The sect was reduced to ashes, and all the companions were sacrificed.
That night, Lu Yan went crazy.
Holding the phantom of the girl in his arms, he was exiled to a gray world with incomplete laws. He and "her" depended on each other, making fires for "her", looking for food for "her", whispering softly to "her" every cold night... He was terminally ill, but in coexisting with this phantom pain, he gained the purest and most terrifying concentration.
He saw it through.
Seeing through the hypocrisy of "the way of heaven", seeing through that power is the only truth that protects everything.
He became stronger.
Since the world is a prison, he regards himself as the final experiment. He began to dissect his soul, calculate his meridians, and use cold logic and formulas to re-create his own "Road to Enlightenment through Science and Technology" that was incredibly efficient.
When he finally "ascended" from that cage and returned to the sea of stars, what returned was no longer the creator with good intentions.
Rather, he is an avenger who kills decisively and is chillingly calm.
The only softness in his heart was reserved for her who was by his side and whom no one could see.
And for her, he would launch the most thorough and lonely... War against the huge technological civilization across the galaxy that once destroyed everything about him.
