Forbidden Vessel

In ancient times, nine beings were rejected by the Heavenly Dao—some were powers that should not exist, others were races that should not endure. Together they were called the "Nine Forbidden." Nine great powers sacrificed themselves, transforming into nine Forbidden Seals to suppress these beings across the world, an event known as the "Nine Seals Sealing Heaven." After three thousand years, the seals have gradually weakened. The Forbidden Seals cannot repair themselves; they require a vessel. Every sixty years, each seal chooses its own host, attaching to a newborn's body and using that person's life as a prison. Such people are called "Forbidden Vessels." Su Wang's name comes from a black jade inscribed with the character "Wang" found in his swaddling clothes. Because the Forbidden Seal suppresses his spirit, he has been dull and slow since childhood, called "Woodenhead" by the villagers. After his village is massacred, he gradually grows cold, but he always holds one bottom line—he does not kill the innocent. — Description from novelcodex.org
