With a flick of his finger, he destroys false saints. With a single word, he decides the fate of the world! In this realm, I, Mo Xiao, am the heavens!
Mo Xiao, young master of the Northern Region’s foremost clan, was born to privilege, with a talent unmatched through the ages. At the Spirit Awakening Ceremony, he shattered the ancient spirit-testing stele with one finger. In the Ancient Sword Burial Abyss, he destroyed a sacred-realm abyssal dragon with a single glance. At Starfall Abyss, he plucked a star core from the sky as easily as reaching into a bag. At the Dragon Palace banquet, a casual joke left the Dragon King trembling with fear. During the upheaval at the Mo estate, nine flicks of his fingers erased nine mountains!
He is the supreme ruler of the realm, invincible in his age and unstoppable before all who stand in his way! The secret realms of eternity are his back garden, and he strolls casually through forbidden lands from primordial times. The peerless geniuses bow before him, the holy maidens fall for him, and all races revere him! His very existence is the most dazzling legend in this world!
He ascends all the way to the summit! Mo Xiao looks down upon all living beings. The world is vast, yet he can no longer find a single worthy opponent. Until he sets foot in the Well of the Dao of Return to the Ruins, seeking the Seed of Chaos to forge an unsurpassed true spirit!
However…
The moment his fingertip touches the core of the seed, the jade ring that has accompanied him as he grew begins to glow with a frigid light! A truth beyond his comprehension crashes into his soul like a frozen waterfall from the heavens:
“Verification complete: Sample Mo Xiao, offspring of the realm of Cang… Cultivation phase concluded… State of the Dao Heart: absolute peak of self-confidence… Directive: recover data… return remnant soul to its place…”
It turns out that the talent, fortune, and invincible path he was so proud of were nothing but a program designed in advance! The realm of Cang, whose people he regarded as ants, was actually a breeding ground where he had been raised in captivity! And the supreme Dao fruit he had pursued all his life was nothing more than… experimental data deemed satisfactory!
His Dao Heart shatters, and his soul scatters. Only a wisp of his remnant soul remains, bearing the ultimate despair of a truth that overturns everything he knew as it returns to the one who regarded him as dust… his “true self.”
“So my dazzling, invincible life… was nothing but a wisp of ash, used to forge someone else’s true spirit.”
