The Immortal Emperor is reborn, only to be forced into signing a contract of servitude from the start?
Ling Yuan once stood at the pinnacle of all worlds as the Immortal Emperor, until a giant palm struck him down in the final battle of the ancient past. When he opens his eyes again, he has been reborn in a world where the immortal path has long since been severed. The laws of heaven and earth suppress his cultivation, leaving him with only the realm of a Taiyi Loose Immortal.
Before he can even figure out what's going on, an old man named Xuan Sou tosses him a contract full of outrageous terms: Want to live? Go cut off the head of the Martial Saint ranked thirty-second on the Divine Roll!
To stay alive and uncover the truth behind that battle, Ling Yuan heads to Luofeng City with a blade in hand.
One slash, and the Martial Saint falls. The Divine Roll gets a new name!
But that's only the beginning.
In the secret realm of Yunzhou, one slash shatters a formation that has stood for ten thousand years. In the imperial dynasty of Zhongzhou, one slash breaks the Black Tortoise Formation and forces the founding ancestor of the Dayong Dynasty to bow his head and back down.
Just when he finally gathers the three fates he needs and thinks he can escape their control, Xuan Sou produces the bizarre "Eternal Roll of Names."
"One hundred and three. Sign it, and you'll be my pawn."
Ling Yuan is furious. How dare anyone profane the might of an Immortal Emperor? Even with his cultivation greatly diminished, he dares to raise his blade against the heavens.
Only after signing his name does he learn that there is no freedom in this world, only a colossal game of chess spanning all eternity.
Ancient restricted zones conceal slumbering Primordial Immortal Emperors, while the world whispers of the secret that "immortals have fallen to the mortal realm"...
And his task is to carry a black coffin, clean house on behalf of the players, and expose this eternal deception!
