A single piece of silver purchased a kingdom, but it cost the empire its future. In a world where the rich bond with ancient Soul Titans to rule the skies, the poor are nothing but fuel for the furnace. Lu Feng thought he had a brother in Wei Xuan. They starved together in the frozen slums, promising to conquer the world or die trying. But when the royal selection arrived, Wei Xuan chose the throne. He traded Lu Feng’s life to awaken his own divine beast, watching in cold silence as Lu Feng was dragged into the sacrificial pit. Lu Feng was supposed to die. Instead, he merged with something forbidden—a shattered, ancient god that feeds on malice. Now, Lu Feng is crawling out of the dark. He is not a hero coming to save the world. He is the monster the world created, and he will not stop until every noble house burns to ash.

He ruled the heavens and conquered the abyss, only to be butchered by the people he called brothers.Lu Tian was the Eternal Emperor, the supreme cultivator who united the Nine Realms under a single banner. But on the day of his coronation, his closest allies and the woman he loved pierced his heart with celestial iron. As his soul burned, he learned a terrifying truth: he was just a pawn in a game played by cosmic entities who feared his potential. Instead of fading into nothingness, Lu Tian wakes up ten thousand years later in the broken body of a mocked noble youth in a fading border town. His empire is gone, his name is erased from history, and his enemies now sit on divine thrones. Armed with an ancient relic that crossed time with him, Lu Tian begins his ruthless climb back to the top to slaughter the gods who set him up and uncover the cosmic no horror lurking beyond the stars.
