After the previous battle, the war between immortals and demons temporarily subsided. Lu Chuan's demonic essence, which had come from the abyss of Cangming, was sealed by divine power. He fell into reincarnation, lost all his memories, and became an ordinary mortal. Shen Yao, high in the Nine Heavens, personally quelled the turmoil across the Three Realms. Yet she guarded an unspoken longing, spending a thousand years of immortal life gazing alone at the sea of clouds.
The fated divide between immortals and demons did not end there. Currents stirred beneath the seal, and old enemies lay in wait, hoping to exploit the turmoil in the mortal world to break the stalemate. They wanted to awaken the dormant demonic essence within Lu Chuan and unleash another catastrophe. Unable to bear the thought of him becoming a pawn, Shen Yao secretly descended into the mortal realm and found Lu Chuan, who had forgotten his past.
The mortal Lu Chuan was no longer the lonely Abyssal Demon Lord feared by the Three Realms. He was an openhearted young man from the mountains, ignorant of immortals and gods, unaware of Cangming. When he first saw Shen Yao, the white-robed woman, her features seemed strangely familiar, and he couldn't help drawing closer, step by step.
As Shen Yao protected him from unseen dangers, she dared not speak of the past. She feared that the demonic essence might awaken and bring down the world. Even more, she feared he might remember the prejudice of the immortal sect and the love and hatred between them that had once broken their hearts. But the red thread of fate bound them tightly together. One strange incident after another unfolded, cracks began to appear in the seal on Lu Chuan, and fragments of broken memories kept entering his dreams.
When Lu Chuan finally glimpsed the history of immortals and demons and learned that Shen Yao was the one who had sealed him all those years ago, his love was instantly swept up in overwhelming hatred. As love and hatred tore him in two, the villains behind the scenes activated their formation. The demonic energy of Cangming broke free, Lu Chuan's demonic nature awoke, and he once again stood against the Three Realms.
On one side was the peace of all living beings; on the other was the person she loved with all her heart. Shen Yao once again stood at the crossroads of a fateful choice. One thought, and Cangming surged. One thought, and their love and hatred remained unresolved. This time, she refused to obey the will of Heaven. Even if she had to defy the Nine Heavens, she would find a way for them to coexist.
Lu Chuan fell into the mortal realm and lost his memories. Shen Yao descended to protect him in silence. But fate could not be concealed. The seal shattered, the demonic essence awoke, and he remembered every grievance between them. Love and hatred rose once more, and this time she would defy Heaven itself to face the choice between immortals and demons.
The old dreams of Cangming are forgotten, but fate brings them together once more. The love and hatred between an immortal and a demon have always hinged on a single thought.
