The Martial-Breaking relic stirs the Eastern Continent, drawing forces from everywhere to the small city of Bai. Who will claim it? Jiang Ziyi’s true origins are revealed, and she inherits the will of Martial-Breaking to protect all living things. War breaks out, and friends and family depart. Her fate with the Third Young Master Bai rises and falls; she cannot wait for him, and his soul returns to a foreign land. In the end, neither gets their wish.
“My battlefield will always be here.”
“When the Western Lands are pacified, I’ll cross a thousand mountains and rivers to return and find you.”
“May we meet again, if fate allows.”
“In the end… I broke my promise.”
The living must look ahead. The dead are gone, and those who remain carry their wishes forward and keep living.
