The Taihuang Realm has restarted 999 times.
In the first 999 cycles, whether they were peerless Immortal Venerables or demon emperors who had ruled the ages, all were reduced to ashes under the Heavenly Dao's ordained [Great Purge]. Not one survived.
This is the 1,000th cycle, and the end of fate.
Lu Jing, an insignificant low-ranking historian in the Immortal Court, unexpectedly seized a brush capable of rewriting the Heavenly Dao's script.
The heavens would have all beings despair, so he wrote a chance of survival into that despair.
Starting by saving a miserable deputy from a sect, Lu Jing made his move without hesitation. He used karma as his thread and fortune as his board, secretly laying out a vast scheme.
When the Great Purge arrived as scheduled and the Heavenly Dao bared its fangs,
those cannon fodder, discarded pawns, and defeated wretches who should have died tore through the sky and trampled the heavens!
The Heavenly Dao raged, gazing down upon the mortal world. "Who has disrupted karma?!"
The historian Lu Jing closed the register, drew his sword, and ascended to the heavens.
