Losing Longevity and Deducing the Secret: I Became the God of Troubled Times

In the last years of the Dayin Dynasty, the emperor was fatuous, the vassal kings were separatist, and undercurrents in Xuanmen and the court were surging. A storm was brewing to sweep through Zhongzhou. Shen Mo, the concubine of the then Prime Minister, was born with an "Abandoned Body" abandoned by Heaven. He was predicted not to live past the age of twenty, and was ruthlessly expelled by his family on the eve of his birthday. When he was about to die, the ancient artifact "Mysterious Map of Destiny" recognized its owner and opened a glimmer of hope for him - this ancient map can deduce the secrets of heaven and predict misfortunes and blessings, but it also has a hidden fatal price. Every time it is used, it must be offset by longevity or luck. With the obsession to change his life, Shen Mo stepped into this treacherous and chaotic world. He entered the Tianji Pavilion, gathered connections, broke through the shackles, and used the "forsaken body" to find his own path of cultivation; he got involved in the struggle for imperial power and uncovered the truth about the tragic death of his mother (the former Xuanmen saint), only to realize that his birth was a conspiracy carefully planned by the Xuanmen and the court; he met Su Wanqing, the saint of the Netherworld Sect, and got to know each other. From using each other to falling in love and killing each other, they were repeatedly torn between positions and true feelings. The Blood Moon Incident caused turmoil in the imperial city, and the Nine Stars led the world to play a chess game. The shocking conspiracy of the Netherworld Sect came to light, and the ultimate secret of Xuantu - the power to rewrite destiny was finally revealed. Should he change his destiny to save his mother, or should he accept his fate and protect the common people? Standing at the crossroads of choice, Shen Mo used his "forsaken body" to fight against the will of heaven, and on the verge of the overthrow of the dynasty, he embarked on a path of "accepting fate but not surrendering". See how the "forsaken son of heaven" breaks free from the shackles of fate, amidst the whirlpool of power and the disputes between Xuanmen, he sticks to his heart, protects the common people, and finally uses his own body to rewrite the destiny trajectory of the entire Zhongzhou.
