The Heavenly Dao is a prison, caging all living beings like lambs.
Nameless, leader of the Night Watch, wielded the black sword Night Tamer and cleaved open the heavens. To his shock, he discovered that the will of the Heavenly Dao was bound by chains of black iron!
As his sword slashed furiously at the chains, the Twelve Immortal Venerables of the Holy Sect descended from the sky to surround and kill him.
After three days of fierce battle, Nameless burned up his divine soul. The black sword fell into the Abyss, and his shattered body became a seal over the Nine Hells.
Before he fell, he carved a tearful prophecy into his bloodline:
“Thirty thousand years from now, the twin fish will become dragons, and the Heavenly Dao will be reborn!”
The Holy Sect rewrote the historical records, branding him a tyrant, and slaughtered the entire Night Watch.

Using forbidden arts, she altered her child's fate and stitched a world-shaking secret into the baby's swaddling clothes.
