Above the Nine Abysses

A hundred years ago, Shen Yuan sacrificed himself to suppress a demon, his soul falling into the ninth layer of the Heavenly Abyss. Everyone thought he was dead. A century later, the Heavenly Abyss reopened. The junior he once dragged back from the abyss's edge ascended to the throne of the Nine Heavens, dividing the realm. The Dao companion who once stood by his side now rules the Mirror Abyss, high above the clouds. Eight old friends, eight divine thrones—they built their own paths to the heavens using his achievements. Their greatest fear: Shen Yuan is still alive. He crawled out from the deepest abyss, his cultivation shattered, his face unrecognizable. He infiltrated a trial team under the alias Shen Mo. No one recognized him—until Luo Jiu, the girl who ferries souls across the abyss, whispered in his ear: "You shouldn't have come back. But you came back just in time." This time, Shen Yuan is not in a hurry for revenge. He has a secret: the remains of an ancient god at the bottom of the Ninth Abyss have merged with him, granting him the ability to devour divinity. For each divine throne he consumes, he unlocks a layer of memory and awakens a fraction of the ancient god's will. Nine divine thrones, nine traitors—one by one, he reclaims them from the shadows. "You sit in my seat—" Above the Nine Abysses, someone slowly rises. "Are you comfortable?" As nine ancient divine thrones fall, dark currents surge beneath the abyss. The day the youth returns, the entire Nine Heavens tremble. Coming soon.
