Immortal and Demon in the Mortal World

His family destroyed and his loved ones dead, the young Lin Chen spent three years on the run. Then, on a stormy night, the ancient jade passed down through his family awakened, revealing itself as the supreme treasure known as the Heart of Time and Space. From that moment on, an against-the-heavens journey spanning the mortal world and the realms of immortals and demons unfolded beneath his feet.

At the Qi Refining stage, a sudden premonition can help him avoid a fatal calamity. At the Golden Core stage, he can deduce cause and effect with flawless precision. At the Nascent Soul stage, he can trace shadows back through time and uncover the past. And at the Tribulation stage, he can command the flow of time and reverse cause and effect! As the Heart of Time and Space awakens step by step, Lin Chen transforms from a fugitive wolf at the mercy of others, advancing cautiously until he rises from obscurity.

He excels in both alchemy and swordsmanship, making his name known throughout the eight directions. He settles old scores and kills his enemies with his own hands. But revenge is not the end. When he discovers that he is merely a pawn in the scheme of the Heavenly Secrets Sect's master, a powerful figure from the Upper Realm, and that the mastermind intends to command the cause and effect of the ages and reshape the order of the universe, Lin Chen becomes the one variable no one can control.

From pawn to player, he stakes his life as he travels through a rewritten river of history, mends the shattered chain of cause and effect, and faces an ultimate opponent who is all but omniscient and omnipotent. When the final battle arrives, he gives up on confronting his enemy head-on and instead returns to the starting point of every tragedy, hoping to guide the foe before he falls to the demonic path.

“The pinnacle of the immortal path is nothing more than the warmth of ordinary life.” After countless ages of upheaval, he finally returns, his cultivation diminished. Taking his Dao companion by the hand, he goes back to the small mountain village where it all began and opens a little tavern. This is an immortal legend of one who commands the flow of time, and a story about protection and choice: I am eternity, but it is the mortal world I wish to protect for all eternity.
