Chapter Summaries

After a century of recovery, Shen Hao’s cultivation neared the Hongmeng Great Dao Saint realm when the star chart revealed a purple phenomenon linked to the hidden Star of Returning Ruin. A message from the Hongmeng Abyss called him the Lord of Origin, and Shen Hao decided to investigate the disturbance himself.
