This is the best of times. The battle between monsters in the Nanling Mountains, the sinking of the East China Sea, the final battle in the Northern Wilderness, the quest for saints in the Western Desert, and the heroes vying for the throne. The nine veins are rekindled, and battle scars open up the sky; the old saint returns to dust, and the new saint comes with blood. It was also the worst of times. Beacon smoke rises everywhere, howls fill the fields, all living beings are like sons, and the world is like a chess game.

He has fought life and death battles time and time again, and been baptized by the flames of war time and time again. He has come here for the bloodshed.
