A thousand years ago, a war broke out between the immortals and the demons in the land of Shang Xian. Only two hundred years later, the armies of heaven had nearly wiped out the demons when a child was born with the blood of both peoples. The chaos from which everything sprang intervened when the scales of balance threatened to tip, and appointed the infant as the Millennium Cultivator. Heaven, enraged at being robbed of its glorious victory and unable to kill the blessed child, sealed the infant, only a few days old, in the heavenly imperial palace, where he must now live out his life as a cursed crown prince. After a thousand years, his cultivation is to reach its peak, which is why the sects of all nine heavens are now sending emissaries to execute the cursed prince before his ascension. But loose threads of fate are being brought together again, what was lost is returning, and sometimes it takes no power to avert disaster, just a small spark of hope.
