A young man branded a "bringer of disaster" and responsible for igniting the Black Tide struggles to survive between a sect's pursuit and a cosmic catastrophe. Gradually, he discovers that the Entropy Jade he ignited holds the remnant soul of an ancient Awakened, and catches a glimpse of the greatest lie in the cultivation world. To survive and uncover the truth, he must use his newly awakened power of "corruption" to navigate the ruthless political machinery of the Dreamweaver Sect, the relentless pursuit of the Illusion-Breaking Masters, the encroaching Devouring Dream Black Tide, and the other Awakened factions lurking in the shadows, all while trying to shake the colossal edifice built on stolen dreams and lies.
