Lin Chen, an outer disciple of the Qinglan Sect, was born with what everyone called useless mortal bones and endured constant contempt and exclusion. At the brink of despair, he awakened the Eternal Burning Heaven Mystic Bone and embarked on a path to defy fate and seek the Dao. He traveled with Su Qingyue, braving secret realms and chaos, passing the trials of the Other Shore and comprehending the origin of life and death in the Spirit Ruins. Seeing countless cultivators lose themselves and become assimilated, he came to understand the preciousness of staying true to oneself.
Dark currents stirred through the sea of stars, and a cataclysm loomed. The Abyssal Ancestor, dormant for countless eons, plotted to devour all races and overthrow the sea of stars. From the depths of chaos, the Dao-Eroding race invaded across worlds, leaving fading stars and shattered Dao patterns in its wake.
Lin Chen's Annihilation Flame was perfectly suited to counter darkness and the Dao-Eroding essence. At the Abyssal frontier fortress, he joined the mighty warriors of countless races in a desperate battle against the Abyssal Matriarch and the Ancestor. At the edge of chaos, he and his allies set up a great formation and drove back the Dao-Eroding army. Amid the flames of war, he saw the strengths and weaknesses of the two paths to merging with the Dao and chose to create his own Burning Heaven Domain. Su Qingyue opened a Wind Domain, and together they became supreme Dao-merging lords of the human race in the sea of stars.
The pact of the Myriad Daos Platform was sealed, and the various races joined forces to protect the sea of stars. Yet the Other Shore was merely a tributary formed by the overflow of the primordial Dao Source. The source of the Great Dao still lay far away. The two packed their belongings and entered the perilous Final Chaos, fighting the primordial turbulence that dissolved worlds and slaying Chaos Supremes as they pressed onward into the depths of the Origin.
Before the primordial Dao Source, a choice awaited them: dissolve the self and return to the Origin, or preserve the self and roam the World Sea. Lin Chen chose the latter, imprinting the primordial source upon his soul. He left an incarnation behind to guard the sea of stars and protect all living beings, while he and Su Qingyue set off together for the boundless World Sea. They would traverse countless great worlds and, amid endless unknowns, never cease walking their own path to transcendence.
