At the end of ancient times, the "Path to Heaven" collapsed, spiritual energy dried up, and mythology sank into the dust.
People knew only that the path to immortality had been severed. No one knew that this planet had become a sealed, fragile vessel, liable to shatter at any moment when pushed beyond its limits.
Gu Qing could have ascended three thousand years ago, but chose to remain on Earth as its sole gravekeeper.
He forged a black jade pendant and wore it against his chest as an "external cooling valve," silently channeling away his own surging power to keep the world's laws from being distorted.
Three thousand years later, mercenaries accidentally excavated a ruin and carried off that "lifeless black stone."
The cooling system went offline. The overload awakened. Cities began to heat up, reality began to shift, and the true reckoning began at that very moment.
He entered the world, not to save it, nor to seek revenge.
He had only one task: recover the black jade, restart the cooling system, and then erase every source of interference from reality in the quietest and most efficient way possible.
When the old gods opened their eyes, humanity finally understood:
The one who had always stood guard over this land was never a legend.
