In his first life, Shen Yao ascended to the gates of immortality but was betrayed by those closest to him — burned alive by divine flames and cursed with Mortal Lock, preventing his soul from reincarnating.
But a rift in the laws of fate sends his soul spiraling back ten years before that moment — this time, carrying with him the Infernal Immortality System, a mysterious and sentient construct buried in his soul flame. It promises him the one thing he was denied:
True, eternal, flame-forged immortality — but only if he dares to burn the world to earn it.
His goal is no longer revenge alone — it is to become the first mortal-born Flame Immortal in history, and then destroy the very laws that separate mortals from gods.
