Prologue: Age of Tranquility

For thousands of years, the Six Realms existed in a fragile yet harmonious balance. The Mortal Realm flourished, the Demonic Realm remained in check, and the Heavenly Realm stood as the ultimate authority, overseeing all existence with divine wisdom. It was an era of unprecedented prosperity, where the cycle of life and death continued without disruption, and war had become nothing more than a distant legend.

At the center of this peace stood Long Tian, the celestial prince of the Heavenly Realm. He was not merely a ruler, but a beacon of divine order—the one chosen to uphold the will of the gods. Wielding the legendary Holy Emperor's Dragon Pearl, Long Tian possessed the power to command the elements themselves, making him the strongest being among the divine. His existence was a symbol of stability, ensuring that the Six Realms remained free from chaos.

Yet peace is fleeting, and destiny is never as kind as it seems.

Far beyond the radiant halls of the Heavenly Realm, in the shadows of the Demonic Realm, Long Xie, the feared Demon God, watched and waited. Once a celestial himself, Long Xie had been forsaken by the gods, cast into the abyss, and denied the recognition he had craved for centuries. In his eyes, the peace of the Six Realms was a lie, built upon the unfair rule of the gods—gods who had abandoned him in favor of Long Tian.

His hatred festered. His power grew. And soon, the heavens would tremble.

With an army of demonic forces and the forbidden power of the Blood Demon Pearl, Long Xie launched his rebellion, shattering the illusion of tranquility in a single, devastating strike. The Celestial Palace, once untouchable, was engulfed in war. Gods and demons clashed, their battle shaking the very foundations of the universe.

But the true betrayal had yet to come.

On the Day of Eternal Eclipse, when the heavens themselves turned black, Long Xie struck down Long Tian in the most merciless act of treachery. The celestial prince, protector of the Six Realms, was betrayed, condemned, and cast down—his divinity stripped from him, his wings torn away, and his body exiled to the Mortal Realm.

It was meant to be his end.

But fate does not break so easily.

Though Long Tian fell from grace, his soul refused to shatter. Even as he descended, something awakened deep within him—a power greater than anything the gods had foreseen. A power that had long slumbered in the depths of his very existence.

Thus, the era of peace and stability ended. The Six Realms, once united, would soon fall into the greatest war the universe had ever witnessed.

And in the shadows of destiny, a fallen god prepared to rise once more.

The heavens were once unshakable, a place of eternal radiance where the gods governed all of existence with absolute authority. Mortals revered them, demons feared them, and no one dared to challenge the celestial order. The balance of the Six Realms had been upheld for centuries, as if written into the very fabric of destiny itself.

But fate has never been bound by rules.

At the pinnacle of divine power stood Long Tian, the Celestial Prince, the bearer of the Holy Emperor's Dragon Pearl, and the one destined to uphold peace. His very presence ensured stability, and under his rule, the realms remained untouched by war. To the gods, he was perfection incarnate, a being molded from divine will itself.

Yet in the depths of the Demonic Realm, another presence loomed—Long Xie, the Demon God, a fallen celestial consumed by resentment, ambition, and an insatiable thirst for power. He was not always a demon, nor was he always Long Tian's enemy.

Once, he too stood among the celestial elite.

Once, he too was a child of the Heavenly Father, the Celestial Emperor.

But no matter how much he fought, how much he sacrificed, he was never seen as an equal. The gods had already chosen their favorite—the perfect son, the ideal ruler, the one they would entrust with the future of the heavens. Long Tian.

So Long Xie did what the forsaken always do. He turned his back on the gods and carved his own path.

The heavens did not fall to an external enemy; they fell from within.

On the Day of Eternal Eclipse, as the sun was swallowed by darkness, Long Xie struck first. With the power of the Blood Demon Pearl, he commanded an unstoppable army, breaking through the celestial gates in a siege so devastating that even the gods could not react in time.

But brute force alone was not enough to bring the heavens to ruin.

To defeat a god, one must erase him completely.

In a single act of ultimate betrayal, Long Xie sealed Long Tian's fate—accusing him of conspiring with the demons, framing him as the greatest traitor of the heavens. The gods, blind to deception, turned against their own champion. Stripped of his divine status, Long Tian was cast down, his power shattered, his wings torn asunder, his name forever cursed.

His fall was meant to be final. His exile was meant to be an execution.

But even in ruin, Long Tian's soul did not break.

For the first time in history, a fallen god did not fade into oblivion. Instead, he awakened something beyond the grasp of the gods—an ancient force buried deep within his very being. A power even the Celestial Emperor himself feared.

As Long Tian plummeted toward the Mortal Realm, a new legend was set in motion.

The Age of Tranquility had ended. The storm of destiny had begun.
