Xiao Heng, the eighth prince of the Sacred Dynasty, is kindhearted and upright. He has no desire to contend for the throne, but gets caught up in the succession struggle, framed by his brothers, stripped of his cultivation, and reduced to a prisoner. On the brink of death, he is rescued by Qinglan Sect, a fifth-tier sect that has no idea who he really is. Hiding his identity under the name Ling Chuan, he joins the sect to cultivate, hoping to live out his days as an ordinary disciple. But his identity is exposed, and the Sacred Dynasty demands in no uncertain terms that Qinglan Sect hand over the disgraced prince.
A fifth-tier sect is no match for the Sacred Dynasty, yet not a single person in Qinglan Sect is willing to push their fellow disciple Ling Chuan out to die. Their declaration, “No one gets to humiliate a disciple of Qinglan Sect as they please,” brings down the Sacred Dynasty’s full fury. Cavalry storms the mountain gate, cultivators raze the sect grounds, and Qinglan Sect pays with its own destruction to protect Xiao Heng to the very end. Xiao Heng, too, is slain by the Sacred Dynasty amid the sect’s flames and bloodshed.
No one knows that a Chaos God-Demon Pearl has been hidden inside Xiao Heng since birth. It holds the power of gods and demons and can command the chaos of heaven and earth. In his previous life, Xiao Heng refused to use it, unwilling to fall into the demonic path. But the immense hatred and despair he felt when his sect was destroyed and he himself was killed awakened the pearl’s power to reverse time, rebirthing him on the very day Qinglan Sect rescued him and he joined under the assumed name Ling Chuan.
In this new life, Xiao Heng sheds his former kindness and naivete. Carrying the vengeance of his entire sect and wielding the power of chaos and demons, he will no longer fear becoming a demon or cling to pointless principles. He will repay Qinglan Sect’s kindness and collect the Sacred Dynasty’s debt. Those who drove him into hell and destroyed his sect will see the entire Sacred Dynasty buried alongside Qinglan Sect’s fallen!
