Qingyun Immortal Mountain, an endless cycle of reincarnation.
Su Weiyi is trapped in a false chess game woven by the Heavenly Dao. Twelve times, he is wrongfully accused and executed, dying beneath Shen Qingxuan's gleaming sword.
Mountains and rivers are the stage, all living beings are actors. The so-called righteous path, good and evil, and road to immortality are all predetermined procedures.
In the thirteenth cycle, the executioner's sword misses by a hair, and a variable is born.
He is the only person in this world with a true origin. All illusory arts of the Dao are reduced to nothing in his presence.
Unable to refine qi or practice magic, he must use a mortal body to defy the rules of the entire world.
Shen Qingxuan, the perfect executioner forged by the Heavenly Dao, has followed the rules for countless millennia, carrying out executions with an unmoving heart.
But that sword gone astray, the dissolving sword qi, and the broken life-bound sword carve fragments of memory into his soul that cannot be erased.
On one side is Su Weiyi, breaking free of his chains, awake and alone as he shatters the game.
On the other is Shen Qingxuan, wavering again and again as he struggles between the script and his own self.
Patterns form across the sky screen, and the cycle of reincarnation is about to collapse.
Who can see through truth and illusion, and recover the truth erased by the ages?
