The gods and immortals descended upon the court and demanded that I disarm myself and bow in submission.
As the entire hall stood frozen in fear, I, Di Xin, splashed my blood across an ancient stele and unexpectedly awakened the dormant bloodline of the Human Sovereign!
The Classic of Mountains and Seas appeared from the void and sank into my brow. It turned out not to be a book of illustrations, but the supreme authority to command all the myriad spirits of the primordial world.
“Kui Ox, answer my call!”
As the thundering beast crushed the immortal envoy's treasure and towered above Zhaoge, I knew the rules of the mortal world had to change.
Gather strange beasts, build a mighty army, turn mountains and rivers into a battle formation, and command the hundred clans.
Bai Ze will discern loyalty from treachery, Yingzhao will patrol the Nine Heavens, and Zhulong will make day and night by opening its eyes.
Xiqi rebels? A Demon-Slaughtering Formation? The entire world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas stands behind me!
But beyond the Nine Heavens, Yuanshi Tianzun sneered. “All beneath the Investiture of the Gods are puppets. Your deep bonds are nothing but a play of reincarnation written by me.”
Only then did I realize that Wen Zhong, my loyal general, and the Mysterious Bird had shared the same fate across nine lives; that young Tianhua and the beast maiden Mengji were bound by three lifetimes of destiny; and that even the immortal maiden in the enemy camp had betrayed her sect for my musician... Was every encounter a prison meticulously designed by the Heavenly Dao?
In this life, I refuse to bow to fate!
The bloody battle at Muye. The burning of the Lutai Tower.
Hand in hand with Daji, I laugh at the immortals crowding the sky. “By the name of the Human Sovereign, I swear: even if my body and soul are scattered, my true spirit will never die! Wherever my mark reaches, all of the world will bow!”
The great fire burned for three thousand years.
At a modern archaeological site, I touch a charred stele, and a sudden burning pain flares between my brows. The ancient jade on the chest of the officer across from me suddenly grows hot.
Deep beneath the mountains, the earth's ley lines emit a dragon's roar of resonance that only we can hear...
[Mythic dynasty + defying fate + myriad beasts of the Classic of Mountains and Seas + love across many lifetimes]
This time, I will win true freedom for humanity!
