"For millennia, mankind and the djinn have been locked in an endless war of occupation. As a result of this conflict, the number of lives lost is immeasurable as nations rose and fell over time. Various factions and armies rose to face the djinn threat in order to prevent the occupation of the human realm by the hostile djinn invaders. But as of the last five hundred years, there has been a stalemate between the two with no side taking any decisive action over the other. That is until a series of seemingly small encounters would result in a butterfly effect that would change the course of history forever. Whether that was for better or worse was still yet to be decided."

The sequel to Hunting the Field Guide. Kellen thought that his troubles were over. He'd dealt with the issue of the Poison Gate, he'd saved his sister, and he found out the location of where his trusty fellow Field Guide was located. As far as he was concerned, things were finally looking up for him. He could finally, finally live out the peaceful life he'd wished for when he'd first left the Front Lines. But then the E.A.G. reared it's old head. A hydra, a beast that just wouldn't die, Kellen was at his damn wit's end. All he wanted was to live out the life he'd literally carved out for himself. He just wanted to be happy with his Captain. Why was it so damn hard? ~ Meanwhile, Brent Jameson just wanted to be left alone. A man who knew he could have exceptional talent, Brent just wanted to do what he loved. Sleep around, escort people through Gates, and drink his problems away whenever he wanted to. He did not want to be the new Head of a Guild. That sounded like the exact opposite of what a man like him would want to do. He also didn't want to be attached. Maybe Kellen was right and he had a type, and maybe he avoided that kind of person, but hey, he was just a guy. He couldn't be with someone when he was worried at any minute that he could be teleported away from them and dropped into the ocean. Hell, it was dangerous for him to even have friends. Now that he was back 'home' with his lovely, wonderful family, he knew that he had made the right choice. Brent was better off alone.

Battle Through the Heavens was my first donghua and also my first novel, and because of that it holds a very special place in my heart. Xiao Yan, his journey, his struggles, and his growth are things no one can truly replace, and I know that the original story is already complete in its own way. Still, as a fan, I often imagined a different path—one where family emotions play a stronger role, where bonds, loss, and protection become as important as power itself. This idea is not meant to change Xiao Yan or deny the original story. Instead, it is a personal re-imagining inspired by my own thoughts and feelings as a reader. I was especially inspired by the fanfic BTTH: Thunder Shattered by Yi Pin Ru Xi Yang Yang. I am not trying to copy it directly, but rather use it as a foundation and modify the story according to my own imagination—focusing on a more powerful background, deeper family relationships, and emotional growth alongside cultivation. I am not a professional writer, and this is not something I am doing for fame or recognition. This story is purely for my own satisfaction and love for BTTH. If anyone has thoughts, ideas, or suggestions, I am open to them, and I will gladly shape the story in a better way.
