Waking up, Xiao Fan finds himself a collateral member of the Xiao Clan in Wutan City, orphaned and only modestly talented. He thought he'd been handed the script of a nameless extra, but when a strange celestial phenomenon appeared, a cold, green diamond-shaped mark from an unknown dimension branded itself onto his wrist: the supreme creation known as the Omnitrix.
His cultivation is gone? Omnitrix: "Energy depleted. High-purity energy required. Recommended target: Heavenly Flame."
His clan looks down on him? Xiao Fan smiles. With a vision and strategic mind far beyond his time, he helps his brother reclaim his dignity at the broken engagement banquet and makes his moves as the clan's survival hangs in the balance.
The world is dangerous? He nudges a pair of nonexistent glasses. "My golden finger doesn't seem to work quite like your battle qi."
From then on, the Dou Qi Continent has a "good-for-nothing" whose style is utterly bizarre.
When Xiao Yan wields the Heavy Xuan Ruler and shakes the Misty Cloud Sect with the words "Don't bully a young man just because he's poor," Xiao Fan quietly analyzes the world's energy laws from the shadows;
When Yao Lao marvels at the mysteries of the Flame Mantra, Xiao Fan is trying to use the Omnitrix's database to simulate the makeup of Heavenly Flames;
When the Soul Palace's shadow falls over the Central Plains, the green light on Xiao Fan's wrist can already reveal threats from beyond this dimension...
This is both the fiery legend of the Flame Emperor, Xiao Yan, and the coolheaded journey of the watchful guardian, Xiao Fan.
Ruler and shield, fire and light. Their paths will eventually converge at the summit of the heavens, where together they will watch over the world they both love.
"Yan, just keep moving forward and burn everything in your path. I'll be the light that drives away the shadows behind you."
Xiao Fan brushes the cold mark on his wrist and gazes toward the sky, stained red by Heavenly Flames.
