To overturn his destined fate of becoming a villainous god of justice and turning against his own family in a bloodbath at Mount Hua, Yang Jian chooses the hardest and loneliest path of all: becoming that “villain.”
He coldly suppresses his younger sister and relentlessly torments and “persecutes” his nephew Chenxiang, becoming the ruthless, heartless god of justice in the eyes of all the Three Realms. Yet beneath this seemingly merciless oppression lies a thousand-year game he has laid out at the cost of his divine soul. Every act of “obstruction” is a trial by fire; every “lethal blow” is an act of protection. He makes himself the ultimate mountain his nephew must overcome, all so he can temper him into a blade sharp enough to cleave through fate and the laws of Heaven.
The young Chenxiang presses on, fueled by hatred. He seeks the divine axe, kindles the fire in his heart, and makes close friends, never knowing that every step of his fate was secretly laid out through his uncle’s painstaking efforts. At last, when he stands atop Mount Hua with the Divine Mountain-Splitting Axe in hand, facing the silver-armored figure he once hated with all his heart, a truth that turns everything he knows upside down is finally revealed…
It turns out the greatest villain is the deepest protector, and the most painful trials are born of the greatest love. This gamble, which began with a bid to “defy Heaven and change fate,” will ultimately “bring love and law into harmony” and reshape the order of the Three Realms.
