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 volcanic crater loomed, its basalt walls cracked and jagged, exhaling heat that shimmered like a fevered pulse, each fissure glowing faintly with molten veins. Ash drifted in the air, settling like a heavy shroud, clogging the lungs and pressing against the chest with a weight that felt alive. The ground trembled faintly, a low growl that spoke of forces grinding deep below, ready to split the earth. Beyond a fracture where the crater's heart pulsed red, a rift throbbed—a crimson maw that radiated a force so immense it could pulverize mountains. The Crimson Abyss, the sixtieth force, had awakened, its boundless crush of infinite power a silent vow to grind Lin Feng's spirit to dust.
