In the Primordial Ancestral Realm, the origin of all laws, the young Shi Lan is the greatest genius of the ancient Stone Clan. Yet he harbors a secret unique throughout the ages: he can sense and descend into the billions of minor worlds beneath his own.
In the Ancestral Realm, his talent stands above all others. Across the myriad worlds, he is like a wandering ghost, taking on the roles of ordinary mortals in the lower realms and experiencing the joys and sorrows of all living beings. He once thought this was simply a cultivation shortcut unique to him. But after a family conspiracy completely crippled his cultivation, he found himself cornered and realized that every time he transmigrated, he had stolen a spark of life for a universe on the verge of extinction.
It turned out that the lofty Primordial Ancestral Realm was not the starting point of the myriad worlds, but the final “tomb” of the previous era. The heavens and earth were about to face the ultimate “Return to Ruin,” and everything would return to nothingness. Shi Lan was the sole “variable” in this despairing cycle.
To break the deadlock and protect the countless inhabitants of the lower realms he had seen, Shi Lan embarked on a path against the heavens. He traveled across the myriad worlds, spread his teachings throughout the starry sea, and assembled an allied army. He fought the ancient and powerful clans of the Ancestral Realm, and the indifferent fate that turned all life to ruin!
When he finally stood at the end of everything, facing the merciless law of the cyclical ages, he chose to burn himself away.
“My bones will build mountains and rivers for the new era; my blood will forge a path forward for all living things.”
And so, upon his fallen body, a brand-new world called “Perfect”... was born. Countless years later, a young man from the Great Wilderness walked out of Stone Village. On a declining planet, a young man named Ye Fan boarded a Nine-Dragon Coffin.
This was the end of the old gods, and also... the beginning of the Heavenly Emperor’s legend.
