***He is on the path to godhood, but how can one become a god, when the devil sleeps inside of him?***
Lin Feng is an orphan, whose spirit vein shattered at birth, leaving him the laughingstock of his backwater village. Barely surviving as a scavenger, he stumbles across a dying cultivator who forces a cursed jade pendant onto him before exploding into ash. The pendant fuses with his soul, revealing a forbidden cultivation technique—the Deity Path—rumored to have driven its last user into darkness. As Lin Feng begins cultivating, he discovers his broken spirit vein isn’t a defect but a seal hiding a chaotic bloodline tied to a banished god. His rise starts slow, mastering volatile elemental arts and outsmarting local thugs, but twists pile up fast: the pendant’s power comes with a price.
Forming a shaky alliance with a rogue alchemist and a disgraced sect princess, Lin Feng claws his way up the cultivation ranks, only to learn his bloodline makes him a target for the Five Heavenly Clans, who guard a secret.
Now hunted by clans, and wrestling with a fractured mind, he uncovers the final twist: the banished god in his blood isn’t dead—it’s awakening inside him, and it wants control. Lin Feng must outwit divine conspiracies, defy his own nature, and shatter the heavens to claim godhood—or lose himself entirely.
