In the Kyushu continent shrouded in eternal night, embers crystals corrode everything. Shen Qingzhou, a frontier army scout, accidentally awakened his bloodline while hunting the Ember Beast, and discovered that he was the only bloodline of the former "Ember Emperor" and the prophesied ninth vessel. He was forced to be involved in the conspiracy of the Ember Keepers and the Jiedushi, and he searched for the truth in the struggle between the erosion of Ember power and humanity.
From the wind and snow in the north to the hanging city in Zhongzhou, from the desert of the western region to the fog of the east sea, Shen Qingzhou formed an alliance with the Ember Keeper Suzaku Ye Hongxiao, the born Ember Spirit Prince Xiao Jingyan and others to explore the secrets of the nine abyss. They discovered that eternal night was not a natural disaster, but the price paid by humans for imprisoning gods three thousand years ago. The time of Jiuyuan's reunification is approaching, and the world is facing destruction.
Shen Qingzhou must choose between the curse of Jin Emperor's bloodline and self-salvation. Become a new ruler of gods, or find a third way to coexist? When the last light cuts through the eternal night, a decisive battle concerning the final fate of humans and gods begins after the destruction of the flames.
