He was once a god who looked down upon all living beings. Now he was a mortal struggling through the mud.
Xuan Li questioned the injustice of the Heavenly Way and was stripped of his divinity, cast down into the mortal realm. With his divine power gone and his memories shattered, he opened his eyes in a desolate border village.
"The so-called Heavenly Way is nothing but a cage fabricated by the High God."
When Xuan Li saw the truth behind the civil war in the divine realm in a thousand-year-old mural, and heard a shaman's prophecy beneath the starry sky that "the Three Realms will fall," he tightened his grip on the power slowly returning to him.
He resolved to return to the heavens that had once abandoned him, confront the High God enthroned above the clouds, and tear away the mask of fate, for mortals, for all living beings, and for every destiny that had been rewritten.
