Reborn on the day the Eye of the North Sea cracks, Shen Gongbao returns bearing a boundless hatred that has been suppressed for eternity!
In his previous life, he cultivated for a thousand years, only to become an abandoned pawn of the Chan Sect because of a single phrase: “covered in fur and bearing horns.”
Yuanshi Tianzun exploited his jealousy of Jiang Ziya, luring him into betraying his sect and persuading the Jie Sect’s disciples, tricking countless fellow Daoists into ending up on the Investiture of the Gods.
He thought he was fighting for fortune. In the end, he was nothing but a pawn used to lure demons into a trap and take the blame for others!
His soul was ultimately condemned to the North Sea, never to be reborn in any lifetime.
In this life, returned to the very start of the Investiture of the Gods, he watches Yuanshi Tianzun prepare to hand the Investiture of the Gods to Jiang Ziya.
Shen Gongbao steps forward, his voice cold as it rings through the Jade Void Palace:
“This disciple refuses to accept!”
He will no longer be ruled by his emotions or manipulated by others.
If Heaven is unjust and the Investiture is a conspiracy, then he’ll defy fate and flip the board!
He saves Bo Yikao from a tragic death, takes him as a disciple, and teaches him the Way of Kings.
He foils the Chan Sect’s schemes, exposes the truth behind the Investiture, and protects the Jie Sect’s chance of survival.
Di Xin’s fortunes are spent, so he’ll help a new ruler ascend the throne!
There are kings among humanity. They bow neither to Heaven nor to Earth, and are human kings, not Sons of Heaven!
“Yuanshi Tianzun, you want to use me as a pawn again?
Sorry, this time, I, Shen Gongbao, am the one moving the pieces!”
