Across the Myriad Worlds, all things come to an end.
With a single thought, Shen Guan can bury anything and make it vanish from the world completely: people, objects, mountain sects, even the Eye of Tianjun. During the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, he smiled, and then he and the entire Cloud Terrace vanished without a trace.
But though he could bury the Myriad Worlds, he couldn't bury that single word: "leak."
The hourglass in his heart was constantly crumbling. If he didn't stop the losses, he himself would vanish.
Leaks appeared everywhere across the Myriad Worlds, and somewhere unseen, a master ledger recorded the names.
What had been erased was never a coincidence. As more and more names could no longer be written in the ledger, and more and more things resisted his power to bury them, Shen Guan finally saw through it: in this vast game of chess, he had never been the one holding the brush.
The holy grounds closed in around him, the Heaven-Patrolling Decree loomed overhead, and the hidden hand behind it all used the Path of Burial to manipulate the people. What must disappear would disappear, but he was determined to preserve what should not be lost.
"If someone else set this game up, then I'll bury my way through it, all the way to the truth."
