Having attained eternal life, Chen Guanlou sought nothing more than a humble post in the Imperial Prison, passing his endless days in quiet leisure.​In the vast span of eons, he bore witness to the rise and fall of grand estates. He saw men grace the halls of power in the morning, only to be cast into dungeons by dusk. He watched families prosper and lineages vanish; he watched kings reign and kingdoms perish.​While the world drifted through the tides of change, his immortality stood still. By outliving the masters, the grandmasters, and the titans of every era, Chen Guanlou ultimately ascended to an unrivaled peak of power.
