Kai Ardent is a young man from a forgotten village in the lowest of the cultivation realms, where spiritual energy is scarce and hope is even scarcer. Unlike the typical prodigies of cultivation stories, Kai is not a chosen one, nor does he possess any innate talent. He’s just a stubborn, hardworking guy trying to protect his family and survive in a world that has written him off. When his village is destroyed by a mysterious force from a higher realm, Kai is left with nothing but his grief and a strange, ancient artifact—a small, intricately woven talisman called the Thread of Eternity. This talisman grants him the ability to see the threads of fate, but using it comes at a cost: every time he manipulates destiny, he loses a piece of his own memory. As Kai ascends through the realms, he must grapple with the weight of his choices, the people he meets along the way, and the haunting question of whether he’s truly in control of his destiny—or if he’s just a pawn in a much larger game.
