Shrouding the Heavens: I Am the Flame-Kindling Heavenly Emperor

The Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin descended upon Mount Tai. Qin Xuan awakened memories of his past life inside the ancient bronze coffin, only to discover that he had become an unnamed passerby among Ye Fan's classmates in the original story. Ahead lay the Yinghuo Ancient Star, the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Crocodile Ancestor, and the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. As a mere mortal, if he didn't change his fate, even his bones might not be remembered. At this critical moment, the Eternal Kindling Record activated. He could borrow a spark of kindling from humanity in the future. To borrow a punch from Heavenly Emperor Ye, he had to protect Ye Fan on his journey to become an emperor. To borrow the remnant flame of Amitabha Buddha, he had to suppress the demons of Yinghuo. To borrow the Azure Emperor's lotus flame, he had to protect one of the Demon Emperor's descendants. To borrow the toll of the Wushi Bell, he had to shield humanity from a Dark Turmoil. And so, on the Yinghuo Ancient Star, Qin Xuan borrowed a trace of fist intent from the future Heavenly Emperor Ye, smashing the divine crocodile and severing one of the Crocodile Ancestor's fingers. In the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, he dared not disturb the Empress, but dared to take sacred fruits and divine springs right in front of the desolate slaves, leaving behind the words, “I borrow this fruit today. One day, I'll repay the debt.” At Spirit Ruins Paradise, he used his mortal body to light a lamp and illuminate the sea, creating the Kindling Heaven-Mending Art. Ye Fan walked the path of the Sacred Body Emperor, while Qin Xuan walked the path of humanity's kindling. He wouldn't take Ye Fan's opportunities. Instead, he would forge a path for humanity, one that allowed even mortals to ascend to heaven. Years later, the Dark Turmoil descended, and the Forbidden Zone Supremes looked down upon all living beings. Qin Xuan stood beneath the starry sky, with the lights of countless homes burning behind him across the heavens. “I won't borrow from the future today.” “Today, I will be the flame for those who come after.”
