when the door closed

Lin Chaoyuan was fleeing.

He rushed into the palace with the child in his arms. But by the time he arrived, news had already reached the palace...Lin Chaoyuan was a traitor.

Through the very same maid, Guzuie had already sent word ahead, and the palace was prepared.

When the king laid eyes on Lin Chaoyuan, he tried to snatch Mo Yan away from him, shouting

"I will not see my son in the arms of a traitor!"

In that moment of chaos, Lin Chaoyuan turned and fled once more, dashing through the halls of the palace

and just as the guards closed in, he flung Mo Yan off the cliffside.

By a twist of fate, fishermen were down below, catching fish in the river.

When they noticed something falling from above, they immediately jumped into the water.

They found the baby

a small child, wrapped in silk

and on his wrist, a name was written: Mo yan.

But Lin Chaoyuan…

He had always known this day would come.

That's why, long before, he had learned black magic.

Right then and there, he turned the king into a meal for a spirit....a cursed soul-devouring entity.

But those spirits… they did not stop.

Their wrath poured out in waves, devouring half the sect.

Only two clans survived, thanks to the powerful spell barriers protecting them.

And as Yu Sui's soul was offered as a final sacrifice,

the gate between the worlds slammed shut

sealing the horror within.
