The Cry of the Artifact

Ten thousand years ago, the Sun-Moon Empire, which wielded the primal forces of the sun and moon, collapsed. The blood of the Heavenly Lineage stained the earth. Amid the turmoil, a brother and sister were torn apart. The infant Shangguan Moning fell into the hands of the Cangxuan Dynasty, which had destroyed his homeland. Knowing he carried the blood of the Sun-Moon Heavenly Lineage, the dynasty concealed the truth and carefully raised him as a pawn waiting to mature. He devoted himself to artifact cultivation. At the tenth level of spiritual energy, he awakened his innate artifact, with the twin shadows of sun and moon hidden within. Deep inside him, a fragment of the Heavenly Dao, lost amid an ancient conflict in the heavens, lay dormant. Sent to war, he clashed several times with a woman who practiced the righteous path of sunlight. They were bitter rivals, unaware of the blood ties between them. Only when the lies shattered did he learn that the nation he had served all his life was the very enemy that had slaughtered his people and destroyed his home. The opponent he had fought countless times was his long-lost older sister, Shangguan Moming. The ancient conflicts in the heavens raged on. The authority over heaven and earth had become private property, while all living beings were trapped in an endless cycle of war. The pawn of old broke free of his cage and set out on a journey, carrying the remnants of the Sun-Moon Dao. He fought his way forward, and myriad artifacts rang in unison. Standing atop the heavens, facing the countless powerful foes barring his path, he let his resolve resound throughout the cosmos: I will become an Emperor. Who dares stop me? Who can stop me?!
