Across the Myriad Worlds, the divine path reigns above all. Sects divide the righteous from the wicked, spiritual roots determine one’s rank, and cultivation determines one’s status.
Lin Yan, an orphan from a muddy alley in Qingxi Town, was born with the lowliest mortal roots in the Myriad Worlds. He seems like a cheeky jokester who pinches pennies and would rather keep his head down than pick a fight. Always grinning and acting the fool, he has become the sort of streetwise ruffian everyone despises.
No one sees that beneath this unruly exterior lies the purest and most guileless mortal heart:
Fiercely protective of his own, clear about right and wrong, and neither wholly righteous nor wholly wicked. He is ruthless and cunning toward evildoers, never bound by hypocritical rules; for friends and benefactors, he would give his whole heart and risk his life, holding fast to his principles with a mortal body.
He will not cultivate the divine path, worship false sages, or follow the divisions between righteous and wicked. He will only stay true to himself.
From muddy mortal alleys to the divine realms of the nine heavens, from the turbid world of mortals to the chaos of the void,
he walks the most honorable path in the guise of the most shameless rogue;
with the lowliest mortal bones, he brings the order of the heavens crashing down and puts an end to calamities spanning the ages.
The world laughs at my lowly mortal bones. With my mortal heart, I will bury the heavens.
