He was once the Nine Heavens God of War, the Emperor Xiao, who ruled the stars and commanded the respect of countless worlds. But after his trusted friend, the Nether Emperor, betrayed him, his divine status was shattered and his soul fell. He possessed the body of a bullied live-in son-in-law on Earth.
Now he is Ling Xiao, the “kept man” everyone in the Lin family thinks they can walk all over. His mother-in-law mocks him, his brother-in-law humiliates him, and even outsiders treat him as a laughingstock. No one knows that every sneer and act of contempt is quietly awakening his slumbering divine essence. To him, humiliation is the flame that fuels rebirth, and desperation is the stairway back to power!
When assassins target those he protects, and the Nether Emperor’s minions cross the stars to wipe him out, Ling Xiao stops hiding. He recovers the scattered fragments of his divine essence and regains his former powers. Ancient martial clans? Geniuses from beyond the stars? In his eyes, they are nothing but dust and ants.
And when the secret of Earth’s “ancient divine tombs” is revealed, drawing powerful beings from countless worlds and bringing war to the brink, Ling Xiao takes one step forward and stands atop the heavens, declaring to the universe:
“I once fell into the mortal world, but I never lost my throne. This universe will always answer to me.”
