After transmigrating through ten years and silently registering his name at the Shanmen for ten years, the system finally issued Ye Changge his first task: to take in some disciples! Disciple One: A very ordinary mortal who carries an axe every day, cutting down trees, carrying water, and usually eats ordinary food. A few years later, Disciple One left the mountain and destroyed the sky and earth as well as shattered the heavens with a slash of his axe... Disciple Two: born evil and with the appearance of a young emperor, he once traveled through the Central Region and suppressed the younger generation, with no one being of match for him... Disciple Three: the reincarnation of an empress. In her previous life, she had fought in a bloody battle to the ends of the heavens and had seen "the other shore"... In this lifetime within the Cangyun Secret Realm, Ye Changge's cultivation had reached a point where he has overcome all worldly thoughts and attained sainthood. "As a teacher, I won't be lax any longer. From today on, in the Eastern Region, I'll have the final say!" Thousands of years later, his disciples left the Eastern Region one after another.

Determined to reverse the bad hand faith had dealt him he started researching it and came to a shocking conclusion. The very laws that the heavens prevented him from comprehending were swirling around in this strange energy! The youth thought to himself that if he could somehow control it, then he could defy the heavens and become a cultivator. Without any hesitation he began researching more and found out that the only way to control this newfound energy was to absorb it within his body. After many years of preparations, he did exactly that. However, he promptly died from the finger size strand he absorbed.
