He was once the Martial God of Ten Thousand Realms, a legend who shattered heavens with a single strike. But betrayal sealed his divine soul into the frail body of Lin Feng—a scorned, beaten son-in-law of a crumbling clan. Mocked as trash, humiliated by his wife’s family, and cast aside like a broken tool, he endured it all with a smile. Why? Because beneath his ragged exterior burns the heart of a god, waiting to unleash chaos on a world that forgot his name.

Divorced and discarded, Lin Feng walks away from the Lin Clan’s sneers, his steps leading him to the downtrodden Ye Clan—a family of outcasts clinging to survival. They see a wanderer. He sees a canvas. With cunning sharper than any blade and secrets deeper than the abyss, he begins to mold them in the shadows, turning weaklings into warriors, paupers into kings. Every insult fuels his resolve. Every enemy becomes a stepping stone.

But the seal on his power is cracking. Ancient foes sense the tremor of a god’s return. Arrogant young masters, ruthless sects, and even the heavens themselves will tremble when the Shadow Patriarch rises. From a forgotten village to the celestial thrones, Lin Feng—Zhan Tian—will carve his name in blood and fire, proving one truth: those who scorned him will kneel, and those who dared to challenge him will break.

Cultivation? Unmatched. Revenge? Ruthless. Destiny? His to rewrite. The world thought it buried a nobody. It awoke a nightmare.

The aurora plateau shimmered beneath a sky ablaze with golden light, its smooth stone expanse reflecting beams that danced like liquid dawn, each ray a pulse of brilliance that seared the eyes. Winds carried flecks of radiant dust, their glow stinging the skin, a whisper of purity that urged the heart to kneel. The air was heavy with warmth, a radiance that pressed against the mind, flooding the soul with visions of eternal clarity. Beyond a rift where the plateau's core flared with prismatic fire, a chasm blazed—a golden inferno that radiated a force so vast it could blind the cosmos itself. The Radiant Sovereign, the eighty-first force, had risen, its boundless light of infinite power a blazing vow to sear Lin Feng's spirit into oblivion.
