When Hongmeng opened the heavens, the primordial world became a game board, the myriad immortals its pieces, and the Heavenly Dao wrote the fate of the ages in stone.
Everyone believes the Great Dao is just, that cultivation can defy Heaven, and that struggle can win eternal life.
Only Lin Yuan knows the truth:
The primordial world is a prison from which nothing can escape.
Having transmigrated across three thousand epochs, he commands [Fate Observation] and sees through every script: the sermons at the Purple Cloud Palace, the calamity of the liches, the Investiture of the Gods and the destruction of the Jie Sect, and the return of all paths to the void.
Yet he has never dared to make a single move.
Because from the moment his talent awakened,
an indifferent gaze from an outside dimension permanently locked onto his soul.
It looks down on the Heavenly Dao, stands above Hongjun, and regards all living beings with indifference.
It does not kill, take action, or interfere.
It only waits, waiting for him, the one and only variable, to break the deadlock, change his fate, and throw the game into chaos.
From the start at the opening of the Purple Cloud Palace, all beings arrive devoutly to play their parts, every one of them acting according to the script.
Only Lin Yuan hides among the crowd, quietly making his moves.
He changes Hongyun's fate, breaks the Heavenly Dao's fixed destiny, disrupts the Saints' plans, and saves the myriad immortals of the Jie Sect.
As the game slowly falls apart and the script fails, layer by layer,
the gaze from beyond the world, watching from above through the ages, finally begins to awaken.
Lin Yuan looks down coldly upon the myriad immortals of the primordial world, his heart indifferent:
"You think I'm defying Heaven."
"You don't realize I'm only testing who is watching over this entire world."
The Jie Sect will not fall. The Investiture of the Gods will be rewritten. An outside power spies on fate, and I alone will break the game.
