Shen Yan was persecuted by Su Yunxi in his previous life, his Nascent Soul was shattered, and the sect changed its owner. After returning from rebirth, he suppressed his overwhelming hatred and found an opportunity to kill Su Yunxi with his own hands. He thought he would be able to get rid of the shadow of the past.
But he didn't expect that this was not the end, but the beginning of darkness. After that, people with unknown identities and strange behavior appeared one after another. Their words and deeds were illogical, but they could always touch Shen Yan's secrets accurately, making him realize that everything around him was far from simple as it seemed.
As the mysteries were uncovered layer by layer, Shen Yan saw clearly the sinister nature of people's hearts and the impermanence of the world, and all the trust and tenderness in the past were in vain. Frustrated, he cut off all emotional bonds and chose to practice the ruthless way. He broke through the shackles with absolute rationality and firm will, and finally explored the avenue and successfully ascended.
