The heavens wept crimson that night.
Lightning tore through the skies like divine fury unleashed, and beneath it stood a man wrapped in tattered robes, drenched in blood—not his own.
Lin Xian.
The Sword God.
The man who once stood at the peak of all existence, whose blade could cleave through space, sever fate, and silence even gods.
Now, kneeling atop the sacred execution peak, chains made of divine gold wrapped around his limbs, binding even his breath. Dozens of celestial elders and divine judges hovered above him, their expressions twisted with fear disguised as justice.
"You defied the celestial order, Lin Xian. You stole the Divine Flame. You challenged the Heavens," roared the Celestial Arbiter.
Lin Xian smirked through cracked lips. "No… I only refused to kneel."
With a flick of his finger, even in chains, the mountain beneath him trembled. His aura—suppressed, broken, but unyielding—still made the gods hesitate.
But then came the command.
"Execute him."
The Divine Spear pierced his chest. Light exploded across the heavens as the Sword God fell—his body turned to ash, scattered across the mortal realms.
And yet… the world didn't know.
The Sword God didn't die.

⚫️ Somewhere beyond life and death…
Darkness.
Cold, endless void.
Then—a whisper.
> "System initializing… Binding to Forsaken Soul…"
> "Rebirth Protocol Activated."
> "Welcome, bearer of the Forsaken God System."
---
🌀 He woke… in a ruined land.
The sky was no longer blue, but cracked with streaks of red and black. Ruins stretched across the land like forgotten corpses. Ancient cities buried in ash.
Lin Xian gasped, touching his chest. The wound was gone. His body—new, younger, weaker.
But within him pulsed something ancient.

His eyes narrowed.
"I see… even the heavens fear me so much they sent me to rot in a broken realm."
He stood.
His sword was gone. His power scattered. His name forgotten.
But in this new world where gods were silent, where systems ruled, and chaos reigned...
He would rise again.
This time not as a servant of the heavens—
But as the god who rules them all.
