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 sun-scarred mesa blazed under a sky of molten gold, its cracked stone radiating heat that warped the air into shimmering waves, each ripple a pulse of light that scorched the eyes and parched the soul. Jagged spires stood like sentinels, their surfaces baked to a glassy sheen, reflecting a sun that hung low and fierce, unyielding in its dominion. The air shimmered with a divine intensity, a radiance that burned away doubt and bared the heart to judgment. Beyond a rift where the mesa's heart glowed white-hot, a chasm flared—a golden corona that pulsed with a force so vast it could consume the heavens. The Solar Crown, the sixty-third force, had ignited, its boundless radiance of infinite power a blazing vow to burn Lin Feng's spirit to ash.
