Ye Li, son of the Divine Emperor, was born to Ye Xuanyuan, ruler of the highest, Ninth Heaven in the Divine Realm. The ruler of each generation in the Divine Realm bears the same title: the Nine Heavens Divine Emperor. Yet his father vanished without a trace. Was it all part of a long-planned scheme, or did he have some other purpose?
The Divine Realm could not remain without a ruler forever. Ye Li's second uncle, Ye Qingtian, ruler of the Eighth Heaven and the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor, defeated the other Divine Emperors and inherited the title of Nine Heavens Divine Emperor.
Unwilling to let his father's throne be seized, Ye Li plotted to overthrow his uncle and take the throne for himself. But his fiancée leaked the news, and Ye Qingtian crippled his cultivation, casting him down into the Mortal Realm.
Five thousand years later, Ye Li possessed a man in the Mortal Realm who shared his name and had likewise become a useless wreck. He was also chosen by an unknown System. The System's strength or weakness was determined by the name its Host gave it. Burning with fury, Ye Li officially activated the God-Slaying System.
Gods were once immortal and indestructible, but I, Ye Li, will be the first to slay one! To reclaim my father's throne and glory and return to the Divine Realm, Ye Li once again set out on the path of cultivation.
