Lone Guardian Ascends to Godhood

When the celestial realm collapsed, the Third Imperial Prince perished in the flames of war, leaving behind a wandering soul adrift across the heavens. Fortunately, the Sovereign of Cangming and his wife severed his past with the Wheel of Reincarnation, nurturing his spirit in a thousand-year spiritual pool to grant him a new life, renamed Ling Junyu. In his past life, kin turned against each other, and his homeland was shattered; in this life, his parents dote on him endlessly, and a black-clad youth named Xiao Ying stands by his side. Xiao Ying, who shared suffering with him in the ruins, is bound by fate to protect his lord, always shielding Junyu through trials of blood and fire. Xuan Ye harbors hidden hatred, and demons from beyond the realm repeatedly invade the territory, while the blood-deep vendetta of his past life is destined to awaken. Amid the clouds of Cangming and the distant path of immortality, one walks the Dao, accompanied by a shadow. Behold the frail prince, with his loyal elder brother, traversing the celestial realms to settle old grudges and ascend together to the supreme path of immortality. — Description from novelcodex.org
