He was once the supreme Jiuli Emperor of the Immortal Realm, able to shatter galaxies with a thought and sever the cycle of reincarnation with a single sword. But after being betrayed by his beloved and his brothers, his divine soul was destroyed. Carrying his resentment and boundless hatred, he was reborn in the mortal realm as an abused illegitimate son of the Su family.
In this life, his name is Su Jiuli.
He has no illustrious family, no heaven-defying spiritual roots, only an unyielding pride and a heart that froze over on the night he was reborn. Then a basin of foot-washing water jolted his dormant memories awake, and the Nine Cycles Indestructible Body reshaped his unbending physique.
On the letter of broken engagement, he pressed his fingerprint. To the arrogant genius girl, he said only, “You'll regret this.”
By the cold pool behind the mountain, a tiny beast with snow-white fur and a pair of deer antlers tumbled into his arms. Its damp eyes were full of affection and dependence. From then on, a warmth that he could never drive away entered his frozen world.
“Su Jiuli, you're picking on people again!”
“Su Jiuli, I'm hungry!”
“Su Jiuli... Please don't leave me behind, okay?”
Her name is Bai Xiaolu. Playful and mischievous, innocent and carefree, she becomes his only ray of sunshine when he is at his lowest.
In the mortal realm, he gets his face-slapping revenge after the broken engagement and rises from being a good-for-nothing to triumph in the sect tournament. In the cultivation world, he establishes the Lihuo Sect and defeats the best of the best at the Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals, making his name known throughout Tianyan. In the Immortal Realm, his memories return, and he points his sword at the heavens to confront the brothers who once betrayed him and reclaim his throne. In the Divine Realm, he uncovers the mystery of chaos and fights the ancient god of annihilation to the death to protect those behind him.
“In my past life, I failed the world. In this life, I will protect only her.”
