The blood moon splits the sky, and blood seeps through the weeping patterns of the Demon-Suppressing Stele. Amid the undercurrents of the Qinglan Royal Court lurks Lin Ye, a “harbinger of disaster” hunted by the Ziwei Imperial Palace. Chaos energy runs wild in his right arm, and the bronze compass in his palm burns hot. As he navigates ancient tombs, underground rivers, and starship graveyards, he uncovers the truth of his origins and is drawn into the fateful vortex surrounding the Three Realms.
Bearing the Chaos Spirit Ruins, Lin Ye struggles to survive alongside his sister Lin Yao, controlled by a blood puppet, and Yao Qingyi, a vessel of the Guixu. Amid the starship graveyard, the trials of the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion, and a blood-red wedding feast, the Divine-Slaying Crossbow of the Ziwei Imperial Palace, the Soul-Devouring Hook of the Blood Demon Hall, and the Crystal-Devouring Insects of the Celestial Surveillance Bureau are all weapons in a fierce struggle among rival powers for the blood of the “Child of Chaos” and the starship key, the Tianshu Sword. Above them hangs the closed loop of ten cycles of reincarnation: is every “Lin Ye” in each life merely a pawn controlled by the Time Watchers?
When the wreckage of the Primordial Ship emerges and the Guixu tides engulf the Three Realms, Lin Ye takes up the Tianshu Sword. Amid shattered time and space, he must sever the chains of reincarnation and expose the schemes of the Ziwei Emperor and the Time Watchers, freeing the imprisoned Spirit Ruins race and the Guixu vessels from the shackles of fate. Will he become a harbinger of disaster and crush the Three Realms, or break the deadlock and remake the Spirit Ruins? See how the Child of Chaos uses blood as his offering to knock upon the gates of the Spirit Ruins!
