He was once the Martial God of Ten Thousand Realms, a legend who shattered heavens with a single strike. But betrayal sealed his divine soul into the frail body of Lin Feng—a scorned, beaten son-in-law of a crumbling clan. Mocked as trash, humiliated by his wife’s family, and cast aside like a broken tool, he endured it all with a smile. Why? Because beneath his ragged exterior burns the heart of a god, waiting to unleash chaos on a world that forgot his name.

Divorced and discarded, Lin Feng walks away from the Lin Clan’s sneers, his steps leading him to the downtrodden Ye Clan—a family of outcasts clinging to survival. They see a wanderer. He sees a canvas. With cunning sharper than any blade and secrets deeper than the abyss, he begins to mold them in the shadows, turning weaklings into warriors, paupers into kings. Every insult fuels his resolve. Every enemy becomes a stepping stone.

But the seal on his power is cracking. Ancient foes sense the tremor of a god’s return. Arrogant young masters, ruthless sects, and even the heavens themselves will tremble when the Shadow Patriarch rises. From a forgotten village to the celestial thrones, Lin Feng—Zhan Tian—will carve his name in blood and fire, proving one truth: those who scorned him will kneel, and those who dared to challenge him will break.

Cultivation? Unmatched. Revenge? Ruthless. Destiny? His to rewrite. The world thought it buried a nobody. It awoke a nightmare.

The iron-veined mountain gorge loomed, its sheer cliffs streaked with rust, each jagged face a slab of unyielding stone that seemed to press the sky into submission. Dust hung heavy, stirred by tremors that rumbled like the earth's own pulse, settling on the skin with a gritty weight that slowed the breath. The air was dense, thick with the tang of metal and the faint groan of rock straining under its own mass. Beyond a fracture where the gorge's heart pulsed crimson, a rift shuddered—a molten scar that radiated a force so immense it could grind continents to powder. The Iron Dominion, the sixty-sixth force, had stirred, its boundless press of infinite power a silent vow to crush Lin Feng's spirit to dust.
