Born with a supreme destiny, Miles Wallace has spent eighteen years playing the fool—enduring humiliation while his sister Chloe Reynolds fights and bleeds for him, and his father Robert Lancaster bears every shame in silence. His enemies sneer: "The Wallace family's heir is nothing but a useless madman."
Then the seal breaks. In an instant, he draws his blade and slays the nation's most revered patriarch, sending the entire Grand Dominion court to their knees. But his revenge is cut short when he learns the truth: this world is merely a "ranch" cultivated by immortals, with mortals raised like cattle for their harvest. Facing the celestial lord who views humans as insects, Miles Wallace casts aside all divine gifts, refuses the path of cultivation, and picks up a single peach blossom branch—then carves a path of slaughter straight through the heavens.
"Celestial lords?" he whispers, blood on his blade. "Today, I'll show you gods exactly what a mortal can do."
