Emperor Xin was struck by lightning at Nuwa’s temple and unexpectedly awakened to his position as Human Sovereign. He discovered that he could forge the Human Sovereign anew.
Even more terrifying, he saw the truth:
Heaven’s Will controlled all living beings, the saints fought over the mortal world, and humanity was nothing but a piece on their chessboard.
Incense at Nuwa’s temple? No, it was a trap laid by Heaven’s Will.
Daji entering the palace? No, she was a blade sent by the saints.
Now that he knew how things would end, why not simply submit to fate?
Emperor Xin sneered: “I refuse!”
In this life, he would gather humanity’s fortune, forge the Human Sovereign Sword, and battle the saints. Gather humanity’s fortune, forge the Human Sovereign Sword, and battle the saints.
