Fate had never been kind to Ji Ning. Wracked by illnesses and infirm his entire life on Earth, Ning knew early on that he would die as a teenager. What he didn’t know was that there really was such a thing as life after death, and that the universe was a far larger place than he thought. A lucky twist of fate (one of the few in Ning’s life) meant that Ning was reborn into a world of Immortals and monsters, of Ki Refiners and powerful Fiendgods, a world where Dynasties lasted for millions of years. A world which is both greater…and yet also smaller…than he ever could imagine. He would have the opportunity to join them, and in this life, Ning swore to himself, he would never let himself be weak again! The Era he was born into was a Desolate one, but Ning would make it his era.

We have no intentions of being your enemy, senior. I'd like to ask you to permit us to leave the Sacred Immortal Realm."

"Oh? Five World-level cultivators and five Archaeus medallions… such wealth!" The stooped Daolord who stood at the entrance of the prison sent his voice out echoing with the ears of the five. "Letting you leave isn't completely out of the question. However, you have to agree to one of my conditions."
