Lu Xun dies — and wakes up as a shattered clan genealogy register. Only a fragment remains: the cover scorched black, the pages worm-eaten, and the very page that once held his own name has vanished.
Outside the ancestral hall, the Lu clan is down to its last breath — two acres of spirit fields, seven cultivators, a patriarch bleeding his life away, and a pack of children so hungry their eyes gleam green.
The register flips open on its own, no wind stirring. A name long forgotten bleeds black across the page — the omen of annihilation.
Then things begin to turn.
A girl who died young rises again — and becomes the clan’s guardian alchemist. A boy born with a false spirit root splits a mountain with a single sword. An old hunter-cultivator, written off as dead weight by his own kin, takes two Foundation Establishment enemies to the grave with him before he falls.
Years later, when the great sects turn back the pages of history, they finally realize: that no-name clan tucked away in a mountain valley had long since rewritten the fate of the entire cultivation world.
