Gong Xingluo was born with superhuman divine power, yet the ninefold seal inside her made her the least remarkable of the nine heirs to the position of Supreme God.
Her mother died young, her father vanished, and her brother Gong Xingchen, the only one who always stood between her and danger, was left behind in the Boundless Ruins to save her when a seal shattered.
After her divine power is exhausted, Gong Xingluo falls into the mortal realm and returns to the Shen family, where her mother once lived. She has no divine title, no struggles, and no one calls her Ninth Highness. Her cousin Shen Yan, his wife Su Wan, and Shen Xiaoman, who follows her around all day calling her "Auntie," show her for the first time that perhaps a home is simply a lamp left burning to welcome her back.
She had intended to stay away from the divine realm forever.
But a year later, the entire Shen family is slaughtered, leaving only Shen Xiaoman alive.
Gong Xingluo takes up the Nine Luminaries Whip once more and returns to the divine realm.
Everyone assumes she has returned to compete for the position of Supreme God, but they don't know that she wants to investigate her mother's true cause of death, the truth behind her father's disappearance, the conspiracy that trapped her brother, and the real purpose of the nine heirs' existence.
Until at last, she discovers
The so-called succession to the Supreme God has never been an honor, but a sacrifice repeated for ten thousand years.
All the gods are competing for that supreme position.
Only Gong Xingluo finally decides
She will not compete.
She will ensure that there is never another Supreme God in this world.
