The sky cracked open. Mount Buzhou, the ancient pillar that held up the heavens, collapsed, and the essence of its mountain soul became the Buzhou Seal, the last hope for repairing heaven and earth. The seal shattered when the Beast-Taming Heavenly Emperor attained the Dao and dissolved, scattering its fragments across the mountains and seas. When Chen Huang's spiritual meridians awakened, blood rained from the sky and every beast wailed in sorrow. His family branded him an ill omen and cast him into a bottomless wasteland abyss. At the bottom of the cliff, he found a broken stone seal, the Classic of the Mountain and Sea Origin, and a young Bai Ze beast who knew all things. The white beast said the seal could mend the heavens. From then on, abandoned Chen Huang, dragging a broken leg and carrying the fractured seal, embarked on a difficult journey. He had to gather the ten great treasures, awaken the divine beasts of the ten directions, and face the ten great fiends, traveling from the Eastern Sea's Guixu to the sacred lands of the demon race. Along the way, he acquired the Heaven-Burning Banner, the Sea-Calming Pearl, the Time Cicada, and more, but the Buzhou Seal remained silent, reacting only when he was near death or something was taken from him. At last, when the divine beasts of the ten directions returned and the ten great fiends roared, the final treasure, the Sky-Mending Stone, needed the purest tears of protection to awaken. Holding the stone seal, Chen Huang looked at the crumbling sky and the departed companions he had lost, and realized that mending the heavens did not require a seal. It required the one who bore it to become the pillar of heaven with his own body. So he clutched the Buzhou Seal one last time and smiled as he walked toward the firmament. Behind him, every living thing across the mountains and seas cried out, "Lord Huang!"
