My grandfather was an eccentric man. Every day, he would light incense for himself, stand before his own memorial tablet, and eat candles. The villagers were all terrified of my grandfather. I, too, was afraid of him. It wasn’t until later that I realized—they weren’t afraid of my grandfather. They were afraid of me. Even my grandfather feared me.

In a world where the sun has long vanished, perpetual darkness rules the lands. Qin Ming, a young man in the isolated Double Tree Village, battles both the biting cold and a mysterious illness after surviving a harrowing escape from the cursed mountains. With his frail body slowly recovering, he discovers a strange silver glow emanating from his skin during his unique training—a sign of newfound strength.

Long Chen, once revered as a supreme Pill Sovereign capable of standing above the heavens, awakens in a shattered and weakened body with fragmented memories. Was he the unparalleled master reborn, or a hopeless waste blending with the spirit of greatness? Awakening in a world where might dictates fate, Long Chen finds himself ridiculed as a cripple, unable to cultivate, his past stripped away. Betrayed and left for dead, he discovers a deeper conspiracy: his spiritual roots, vital blood, and celestial bone have been stolen. Armed only with an ancient martial technique, the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, he must rebuild his strength, piece by piece, defying the odds. Through relentless battles, perilous trials, and the ruthless reality of a world that preys on the weak, Long Chen carves a path to reclaim his lost honor. The secret of the Nine Stars unlocks untold power, but demands countless resources and a resolve unshakable. In the Phoenix Song Empire, within the Imperial Capital, his journey crosses paths with betrayal and loyalty alike. Encounters with figures like Master Yun Qi, the cunning Li Hao, and the ambitious Zhou Yaoyang test his strength and wits. Meanwhile, his connections to the Marquis Manor, the Pill Masters Guild, and the mysterious Hundred Herbs Hall intertwine with his struggle for survival. From the Life and Death Platform to unlocking the secrets of the Wind Palace Star, Long Chen faces challenges where each fight could be his last. Whether consuming a Tiger Bone Pill, recovering with Qi Recovery Liquid, or perfecting his Wind Chase Step, his mastery grows, and so does his legend. Will Long Chen rise again to dominate the heavens as the unmatched War God, or will his enemies finally silence him forever?
