A Clash of Ten Thousand Paths: Who Will Rule?

The best of times? The worst of times?

When the supernaturals stand above all living things, ordinary people must kneel just to beg for the right to live.

After enduring three years, Li Heng finally understands:

Better to kill the supernaturals than live on your knees.

He sets up a deadly “interview” and invites three martial arts prodigies to a banquet.

At the first two, he bows and serves tea, humble as dust.

At the third, he draws his knife and becomes the only hunter at the table.

With the wits of an ordinary man, he takes the lives of the supernatural!

But the world is far more terrifying than anything he planned for.

▸ What secrets lie behind the “Heavens,” a subject people dare not discuss?

▸ If the bloodlines of all races share one origin, why were they divided? Where did their glorious civilizations vanish to?

▸ The Dao, Buddhism, martial arts, the ghost path… These extraordinary figures are only the tip of the iceberg!

As Li Heng struggles to survive, he is swept into a vortex spanning the ages:

▸ He once saw a giant tear the cosmos apart with its bare hands, trying to suppress the expansion of heaven and earth, only to be consumed by it in the end. Was that an echo of the past, or a portent of the future?

▸ The Yellow Emperor fused Chi You’s craft of artifacts to create the human martial arts, but the true enemy in that war was never either side… What has history concealed?

A contest of ten thousand paths. A new era begins.

In an age when mortals are no more than ants,

watch Li Heng make himself a piece on the board, slay gods step by step, and ultimately take control of the tides of fate!

He schemes in the shadows and slays gods in plain sight.

This is a bloody path from mortal to “taboo.”
