Overlord Sword Across the Nine Heavens

Before the legendary figure of Sihai City, Huakai Yunzhan, died, he found a boy named Qilang Yu and eventually took him as his disciple. But the boy had no talent at all and could not even cultivate internal energy. Even so, Huakai Yunzhan taught him many lessons. His final words before dying were, “You are the only disciple of my Huakai Yunzhan.” The boy never gave up. Through sheer will and hellish training, he forged strength far beyond what anyone his age should possess. In the end, he shouldered a heavy burden of blame in order to put an end to the world-shaking war. When he was rescued, he tried to ask his benefactor's true name, but the man only said that he would know when he reached Jiutian Yunge. When he learned that he was the tenth of the Ten Sakura prophesied to destroy the world, he set out on a path to change it. In the end, he destroyed Jiutian Yunge and changed the reality of the aloof gods casually ruling over the human world. Only later did he learn that gaining power did not depend on talent.
