In a world where cultivators command mountains, wield wind and thunder, and treat ordinary people like grass; in an age when dynasties have grown corrupt, powerful clans abound, demons stir in the shadows, and chaos looms, a young man of humble origins named Ding Yan joins a demonic sect. During a life-or-death crisis, he accidentally stumbles upon an ancient secret.
What he inherits is no grand legacy of the righteous path, but the annihilation inheritance of the peerless, neither-good-nor-evil master of the Nine Netherworlds. From then on, he wields supreme power, yet chooses to walk the border between light and darkness. Beyond the martial world and outside the imperial court, he quietly establishes a secret organization, the Nine Nether Pavilion, which fights solely to protect the survival of ordinary people. As the players in the great game of the world make their moves, he becomes the “wild card” hidden in the deepest shadows, trying to light a faint beacon for mortals in the endless night with a flame kindled in the Nine Netherworlds.
When the flames of the Nine Netherworlds rise, what future will they illuminate? Chaos has arrived, and the guardian of the night is about to emerge!
