    Gui Xu, born of humble origins, had his dignity crushed by the lofty order. His passionate spirit was chilled by the coldness of the world, driven from hope to utter desperation. He refused to accept fate or destiny, choosing instead to risk his sins for a chance to triumph over heaven. With the power to destroy the world, he committed the most ruthless acts, tearing away the filthiest veil of the old world, revealing to everyone the injustice of the world, the coldness of its rules, and the despair of the lower classes. He was a demon in the eyes of the world, a villain whom the righteous must eliminate, yet he did what no one dared to do, no one could do. Gui Xu was defeated, his body and soul vanished, and order returned to the land. But his journey was not in vain. He did not bring peace, but he brought clarity; he did not build a new world, but he planted a seed in everyone's heart. This seed is hatred, awakening, resentment, and also hope. Whether, in the years to come, violence will grow in the hearts of the wicked or justice will be brought forth in the hearts of the virtuous, depends on whose heart this seed sprouts in. With his sins, he became a warning to the world; with his destruction, he became hope for the underprivileged.

    That winter, the martial world died. The Heavenly Realm slaughtered the entire martial arts world, staining mountains and rivers with blood. Beauty is synonymous with death—Zhao Qinghe, the most beautiful princess in the world, the most beautiful woman under heaven. When she smiled, the world paled in comparison; when she drew her sword, even immortals bowed. Her Flowing Cloud Soft Sword was invincible in three moves.
