Introduction to Myriad Paths Forged in Seal
Dao seals are divided into nine grades, and talent determines your entire life. This is the iron law of the Nine Profound Heavenly Domain.
A bronze seal makes you a slave, an iron seal a foot soldier, a silver seal a general, and a gold seal a king... Those with an Emperor Seal are born gods. Everyone believes Dao seals are determined by fate and cannot be changed, so they resign themselves to living within their respective shackles.
But Lin Du knows the truth.
In his previous life, he was an obscure microcarving artisan who spent his days working with carving knives and grains of rice. In this life, he is a useless apprentice kicked out of the forge, with nothing but the lowest-grade bronze seal inside him.
But he has eyes that can “see through Dao seals.” He can spot the cracks, wear, and casting flaws hidden deep within other people's seals. And the microcarving skills he honed in his previous life can actually repair and strengthen Dao seals, or even recast them!
Mending cracks, carving new patterns, inlaying Dao markings... The insurmountable gulf in talent that others see is nothing more than a rough gem waiting to be shaped in his hands.
While everyone else desperately cultivates and pursues higher-grade Dao seals, Lin Du simply sits quietly before a battered casting table, holding a carving needle and rewriting fate one cut at a time.
He thinks he's repairing seals.
He doesn't know that with every cut, the Dao seals of the entire Heavenly Domain tremble.
The shackles will be broken, and the truth will soon be revealed: this world itself is a Dao seal forged by someone.
And he is the only one who can forge the Dao.
