Ye Tianhen, the Divine Emperor, is betrayed by the one he loves most. His divine soul is shattered, and he falls before the Heavenly Dao Platform.
Reborn in a new life, he becomes a good-for-nothing boy diagnosed with the “Ninefold Death Meridians,” and suffers the full cruelty of the world.
At death's door, his memories of his past life awaken and his heaven-defying bloodline is reforged. He begins cultivating anew with a lost, perfect technique, breaking through from Body Tempering to the Origin-Opening Realm in a single night.
He possesses the “Nine Heavens Tome,” a treasure of civilization from the previous era. Alchemy, formation arrays, beast taming: he masters them all. In just a few short years, he rises from an unwanted son of an ordinary family to the eternal emperor who unifies the continent.
But after ascending to the divine realm, he discovers that ascension is nothing but a “harvest.” The divine realm uses all living beings as nourishment to sustain a cruel order of new gods. And seated upon the divine throne is the very person who once drove a sword into his heart.
When he finally finds the place where he fell in his previous life, the bones of the Divine Emperor left behind in that forbidden land deliver one final warning, ten thousand years later: “The new divine order is a cancer. Ji Yaoguang is not the true culprit. Kill me, and end it.”
Facing the cold “will of the Heavenly Dao,” Ye Tianhen finally sees the truth: her betrayal was an act of protection that lasted ten thousand years, and his rebirth is the only variable in this deadlocked game.
This time, he is no longer trying to reclaim the divine throne.
He wants to destroy this prison once and for all, so that everyone under the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can become a dragon.
