The supreme Immortal Domain shines across the cosmos, governed by perfect order. The unfathomable Eternal Night Netherworld lies in utter silence, its chaos still unformed. These two realms were originally two sides of the same whole, maintaining the balance of the Heavenly Dao: opposing one another, yet dependent on each other.
However, Ling Tian, Great Emperor who ruled the Immortal Domain, and the Netherworld Great Emperor, who commanded the Netherworld, had fundamentally different understandings of the nature of the Heavenly Dao. Their disagreement erupted into a Dao-Destroying War that swept across the heavens. Ling Tian believed the Heavenly Dao was constant, and that all things had to abide by its fixed laws to attain eternity. The Netherworld Emperor believed it was ever-changing, and that only endless change and rebirth through destruction could reveal the truth. Their conflicting ideals could not be reconciled. In a peerless imperial war, the Immortal Domain shattered and the Netherworld collapsed. Both supreme emperors suffered grievous damage to their foundations and their souls perished, forcing them into reincarnation.
Thus the mortal world, one among countless small worlds, was thrown into turmoil. The Immortal Emperor's source reincarnated as Lin Hao, a boy from Qingyun Village, while the Netherworld's ruler was born as Mo Chen, a boy from the Secluded Valley. One was born with an instinct to protect and uphold order, while the other yearned to question and transform. From birth, each carried a destiny and power utterly unlike the other's.
In the mortal world, the righteous sect Tianyan Sect and the demonic behemoth Netherworld Cult clashed without end. Ancient secret realms appeared one after another, and hidden plots and ancient prophecies gradually came to light. Lin Hao and Mo Chen, the twin stars bound by fate, would regain the power of their past lives as they grew and clashed, and prove their respective paths to the Dao once more.
Their opposition is a mingling of light and darkness, a clash between order and chaos, an inevitable course in the cycle of fate. Yet behind this battle over the Dao that sweeps across the heavens, there seems to be an even greater secret and crisis, one tied to the very source of the Heavenly Dao...
