People toil to cultivate the Great Path of Spiritual Energy, cultivating the Dao in accordance with Heaven and following the course of fate.
The countless living beings cannot see the rise and fall of cause and effect. Their entire lives, they are bound fast by the shackles of destiny imposed by the false Heavenly Dao, reduced to pawns for harvesting karmic burdens.
Only Shen Yanci awakens a Cause-and-Effect Dao Body from his dust-ridden, ruined physique, his eyes able to glimpse the countless threads of fate in the world.
Golden threads bind blessings, black threads coil around murderous karma, red threads tie bonds, gray threads seal dead ends, and purple threads suppress all living beings.
Others accept fate and cultivate the Dao in accordance with Heaven, constrained at every step;
He alone walks the forsaken path of cause and effect, drawing threads, severing ties, dispelling calamities, weaving fate, bearing karma, and defying the heavens.
He ascends the azure clouds, enters the Ten Thousand Talismans, crosses the River of Oblivion, faces karmic obstacles, breaks through destiny, and reaches the Primordial Realm.
Storms rise across the Six Domains, divine temples run rampant, and the false Heavenly Dao looks down upon all creation, manipulating an eternal game of chess.
So what if he is burdened by karma? What does it matter if the whole world stands against him?
If Heaven's decree is unjust, he will wield cause and effect as his blade and reshape the world;
If the Great Path is already set, he will defy fate alone and remake the destiny of all living beings.
All beings are pawns, but he holds fate itself and plays the game.
