To defy fate is to tear open the sky itself.

In an empire where cultivation reigns and the path to immortality is paved with bone, blood, and betrayal, Lin Xun is born with nothing — no clan, no spirit root, no future. Or so it seems.

But when a shattered jade pendant from his late mother awakens strange soul memories, Lin Xun begins to dream not as himself, but as Xu Tianheng — a tyrant of a lost age who nearly tore open the Heavens in his pursuit of godhood.

As Lin Xun climbs the cruel ranks of Dustwind Sect, from outer disciple to core contender, he discovers that his soul carries the Sealbreaker brand — a mark long feared by the Celestial Realms. Pursued by secret orders, demon cultivators, and heaven-born rivals, Lin Xun must walk a path no one dares tread:

Cultivating the Heaven-Sundered Bone Gates, a lost technique that fuses soul and marrow.

Facing Heaven Phantoms, spirit-guardians of divine law.

Unlocking the Void Gate, an ancient force erased from all records.

And enduring echoes of a love lost across lifetimes.

As the Heaven Realm stirs and war brews between mortal sects and divine houses, Lin Xun stands at the center of a fate older than the realms themselves — a weapon, a heretic, a remnant of a rebellion that nearly shattered existence.

But this time, he will not die a god.

This time, he will live as a man — and forge his own ascension.

Heaven - Sundered Path

The shattered mirrors vanished, and Lin Xun descended a spiral staircase of floating stones. Each step echoed not in sound, but in emotion — sorrow, rage, guilt, awe — ancient impressions that whispered in foreign tongues.

Above him, the sky-trees retreated into mist.

Below him, a vast obsidian gate awaited, pulsing with runes that bore no language — only meaning.

When he touched it, the world dissolved.

Scene 2 — Trial of Memory: The False Past

Lin Xun opened his eyes in a different world.

He was Xu Tianheng, immortal general of the Heaven-Severing War.

He wore celestial armor. He held a halberd of cloudsteel. He stood atop a battlefield of corpses, gods and beasts alike.

Voices called him "Lord Tianheng." But none felt familiar.

Then he saw her — a woman with silver hair and tears in her eyes.

"You said we'd walk the mortal path together."

Scene 3 — The Sea of Forgotten Selves

Lin Xun fell into a sea of eyes — millions of them, all his, each from a different forgotten life.

A monk who set fire to his own temple.

Each one tried to climb into him. To speak through his mouth. To possess him again.

"You are a tomb of lives you never lived."

"Do you want to know who you really are?"

"I want to know who I'm choosing to become."

With one swing, he severed the memories — not in hate, but in clarity.

He emerged soaked, shaking… but whole.

In the heart of the Grave, Lin Xun found a stone basin. Within floated a shard of black crystal — older than the Heavens.

When he touched it, it showed a vision:

Seven beings in robes of starlight, carving the laws of reality.

One broke ranks — carving the Heaven-Sundered Sutra, a code of rebellion.

But his eyes were hollow. Machine-like. Divine.

"That is not me," Lin Xun said aloud.

Scene 5 — Ambush at the Third Gate

As Lin Xun stepped forward, five figures emerged from the mists of the Grave — cloaked in bone and ash.

Leading them was a figure who bowed mockingly.

"Lin Xun. Seed of Heaven-Sundering. Puppet of forgotten gods."

"By Mother Ash's decree, your story ends here."

Lin Xun raised his Rootless Blade, still trembling from memory-pain.

The third trial would have to wait.

The first real battle against the cult… had just begun.

The Memory That Wasn’t
