“I have returned. I will rewrite these rules myself.”
In his previous life, he was the Creator God’s most favored “Envoy,” but the Divine Lord Haotian and the Buddha, the two beings he trusted most, betrayed him together. His divine nature shattered, and his soul fell into the cycle of reincarnation. Now awakened in this life, he returns with the laws of “Devouring” and “Edict” in hand, vowing to make the thieves who stole the authority of Heaven and Earth pay for their crimes in blood!
He is a patient, vengeful King of Hell.
Upon awakening, he crushes the holy light that deceived the world and abolishes the boundary marker of “divine authority above all,” upheld for a thousand years. He marches on the karmic tower of the Buddhist realm, forcing its abbot to hand over his imprisoned father. With thunderous force, he suppresses the remnants of the old gods and tramples anyone who dares defy him beneath his feet, telling the three realms:
“Anyone who harms even one of my people will see their entire family wiped out. Anyone who insults my laws will be destroyed in body and soul!”
He is also a leader who fiercely protects his own.
For his old followers, he offers wrongdoers a chance to start over: guards who once served the old gods can lay down their weapons and work in the mines in exchange for their families’ safety. For tribes that submit to him, he gives even traitors another chance: members of the Snow Wolf Tribe who shut down trade routes are allowed to enter Return to Ruins Village, where they can teach children to read and write.
“I’m not building a divine kingdom,” he says, tracing the map of the new Divine Court with his fingertip. “I’m building a world where everyone dares to walk with their head held high.”
This is a war to remake the rules.
From issuing the “Abolish Sacrifices Decree,” which tears apart the people’s habit of kneeling before the gods, to establishing new laws with the “Boundless Edict” to end oppression; from incorporating the forces of the Earth King’s domain to ambush the allied armies of Haotian and the Buddha, to facing the million-strong army of the Snow Wolf Tribe’s Silver Fang… A Chen uses overwhelming power and cunning to grind the shackles of the old order to dust, piece by piece.
“Heaven and Earth should always have been protected by living beings themselves.”
And his journey has only just begun…
