In the era of the "new Divine Land," the old sects stand on the brink of annihilation, crushed under the heel of the cyber-enhanced New Sects. Ling Chen, a disciple of the fading Fortune Sect, witnesses his brethren and father humiliated and slaughtered in the New Sects' ruthless purge. Swearing vengeance, he clings to life... until the latent power of his sect's forbidden skills, the "veiled skills," awakens within him.

At death's door, Ling Chen becomes the perfect vessel for the primordial True God of Time. Reborn with the wrath of the ancients and the might of a god, he returns to the continent drenched in blood.

His path is clear: Carve a new epoch from the corpses of the New Sects.
