Yuan Zimo, a useless spirit boy sentenced to death by the Three Paths, awakened the ancient forbidden Devour-the-Dao Physique on the execution platform: he could devour the laws of the Three Paths and make them his own.
Leng Baixue, the greatest Immortal Venerable of the age, took him as her personal disciple and demanded that he uphold the Heavenly Dao. Ye Ji, the Demon Dao's Holy Lord, forced him into her game as a pawn and demanded that he defy the Heavenly Dao. One shielded him under the name of master and disciple; the other pushed him toward the abyss in the name of a deal.
The Heavenly Dao wanted him dead, the Earthly Dao wanted him destroyed, and the Human Dao wanted to abandon him.
Yuan Zimo trusted no one. He believed in just one thing: devour the Three Paths and write the rules himself.
From the lowest menial disciple of the Qingxuan Sect to a rebel against the Dao hunted by the Saints of all Three Paths, he devoured the karma of the Heavenly Dao, the life and death of the Earthly Dao, and the creation of the Human Dao, one step at a time. Leng Baixue defied the Heavenly Dao for him, losing an entire major cultivation realm. Ye Ji blew up three cities in the Demon Realm for him, completely breaking with the Saint of the Earthly Dao.
But when he finally gathered the authority of all Three Paths and stood atop the plane, he discovered that the real choice was only just beginning:
Leng Baixue wanted him to mend the Three Paths; Ye Ji wanted him to destroy them and start anew.
He had only one answer: "I choose a third path."
Three thousand years ago, a rebel against the Dao came within a hair's breadth of rewriting the Three Paths. Three thousand years later, the Devour-the-Dao Physique has returned.
This time, I'll make the moves in the game of the Three Paths.
