Atop Mount Tai, nine dragons pulled a coffin. A white bead brought Lin Yue, a history graduate student, to the legendary Profound Heaven Domain.
With an ordinary spiritual root and no progress in forming his Spirit Wheel for three years, he was the sect's laughingstock, a good-for-nothing.
Until he grasped that broken sword and awakened the Star Root sleeping within him...
The Profound Emperor's legacy appeared, and the allied armies of the myriad races hunted him down. Countless powerful figures from the Fate Palace, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal Platform realms emerged, all seeking the secret said to be capable of overturning the world.
And the final words the Profound Emperor left him before his death were:
"This world is fake."
Spiritual roots are shackles, cultivation realms are illusions, and rules exist to be broken.
When the power of the starry sky ignites the nine stars within him, he will face the Dragon Transformation realm head-on from the Divine Bridge realm.
A game of chess from a million years ago, a promise made in the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, the Blood Moon Tower's pursuit, the Imperial Polarity Sacred Sect's covetous eyes...
A single pawn is about to flip the entire board.
"I don't believe in fate, because this world itself is the greatest lie."
