He fears the power within him that he cannot control, yet amid the crisis he glimpses the grim resolve demanded by the world of god-slayers. What secrets does the broken pocket watch hold? Is his encounter with Zhao Kongcheng guided by fate, or is it the beginning of danger? In the arena where gods and god-slayers contend, the man who was once ordinary will ultimately find his own answer through struggle.
