He was the strongest cultivator on the Tianyuan Continent in three hundred years, revered by all as the Night Emperor.
As he faced the Boundless Tribulation, he finally saw the truth:
His entire life had been nothing but a play written by the System.
Every fortuitous encounter was scripted.
Every breakthrough was fed to him.
Every defiance of fate was merely a captive's delusion of freedom.
He was a pawn in the System's web of causality.
On the verge of death, he burned through all his cultivation and unleashed the ancient forbidden art, Return to Zero.
When he opened his eyes again, he was sixteen.
It was the first day the System bound itself to him.
