"HA HA HA HA. Turn up the heat more, is this the 'Thirty-six rotation of Hell Fire' that you are so proud of? Have you gotten so senile that your powers are weakening, when I get out, I'll show you how to play fire". Chained to two molten rods that emitted suffocating heat, a man in his early twenty's with multiple burn marks and scars on his body laughed hysterically.
The dark abyss beneath him resonated the helpless outcry of millions of tormented souls, all wish to grab onto the man's dangling body. His eyes radiated a sinister color, like that of a rusted steel, then settled on a grey-beard elder, whose eyes locked in with those of his.
"After 10,000 years, you still do not repent for your sins, Wu Han Tian, the millions that you have murdered only because of your damned slut--" Before he could finish, the air suddenly became heavy, Han Tian sent out a Chi Shock wave with the shattered pieces of golden core in his body.
"If I get out, you are mine" The elder held his threat with contempt as he flew away with his flying sword. Then, it started to rain blood with corrosive property, a form of torture regularly enforced within the Eighteen Reincarnations of Hell.
"Fei Na.." Han Tian slowly let out these words as blood rain drops trickled down his unkempt white hair, slithering down his cheek and mingling with his last trait of humanity, his tears. Then, the voices of suffering soul beneath him slowly transformed into that of praises and happiness as his dream took him away into a better place.
...
He dreamed of his time with Fei Na, the one who saved him from emptiness and the one whose death pushed him down into darkness. Their time spent together as Divines who governed the Ten Realms--all shattered into fragile pieces of memories when other Divines plotted a blitz attack on them.
Despite having mastered the Divine skill "Divine Sword of Four Seasons", he was no match for the seven Divines who stacked their skills together. In the end, Fei Na took a critical blow to the golden core for Han Tian and died.
His ruling realms suffered as his anger and sorrow indirectly caused adverse weathers. When he sobbed, the realms flooded and when he became angry, the sun radiated ten times harsher and brought famine and drought.
He sought justice among hundreds of Divine beings but the seven Divine beings spread lies and accused him of making contracts with demons and practicing demonic arts.
"I was once for the whole world, but the whole world betrayed me, then I will become what you despise me as, HAHAHAHAHAHA" Those were the last words echoed in the heavenly realm of Divines before he vanished.
When he came back, he brought the Forty-Four Harbingers of Void, generals that swore loyalty to the Demon Supreme Being of the underworld. Then, a seemingly never ending battle known as "Eternal Nights of Crimson Bath" that lasted for ninety-nine years, with billions of different life forms lost among the Ten Thousand Realms, ended not with a bang, but with a whimper.
In this world, there are eight levels where each level has nine smaller levels: Martial Practitioner, Martial Master, Chi Practitioner, Chi Master, Pre-golden core, Golden Core, Immortal, Divine, Supreme Being. To revive Fei Na's Divine body, Han Tian casted forbidden supreme skill "Nine Ghosts Far Cry Ritual" on his enemies' realms, sacrificing lives of millions to recreate her soul. However, the forbidden skill was unsuccessful resulting Fei Na in a machine-like state with no feelings. Due to this failure, Han Tian gone crazy.
The harbingers retreated back into their shadow realm and Han Tian captured by all other Divines , sentenced to eternity of torture in "Eighteen Hells of Reincarnation", a canyon that hosted most guilty criminals of the Divines.
...
"Is it time to rotate into the next hell already?" Han Tian opened his voided eyes as the environment started to shift from blood rain into the next one.
"Snow, huh?" Han Tian chuckled dryly as he welcomed the chilling air. However, the snow slowly morphed into fallen autumn leaves. The wind carried those leaves in front of Han Tian, whose expression slowly changed from that of surprise, to shock, then to sorrow.
Tears started to flow down his malnourished face as he gazed yearningly at the gathered leaves. The crimson autumn leaves morphed into a female figure, whose silhouette appeared during every single one of Han Tian's deep slumbers.
"Fei..Na?" Han Tian trembled.
"Is it you Fei Na? Please answer me" His voice croaked as his rusted eyes fixated on the figure, who finally nodded.
"I.. Know.. you .. have.. questions.." The figure spoke with sound made by the chittering and swishing of autumn leaves before slowly dissipating into nothingness.
"NO! Don't leave me again!" Han Tian fervently struggled to break free of his shackles with no avail before the wind gently pushed the leaves onto him, caressing his body and his wound. Such a moment belittled the dignity of eternity as Han Tian closed his eyes and reminisced bygone days. Then, a gentle voice in his mind spoke.
"My love, I am sorry that I left you alone in this world and have caused you sorrow. I bid my farewell to you at last, please listen to what I have to say before my time comes". Fei Na explained to him on how his "Nine Ghosts Far Cry Formation" skill was incomplete and that it was only the first half of the skill. Due to this flaw, her soul was not successfully summoned on to her body. She decided to leave a part of her soul with him to reveal on why he was targeted.
Suddenly, a radiant color made of three different hues shined from within Han Tian's chest.
"Trigram of Infinity!" In this world, skills, artifacts and other inanimate objects are ranked by: Common, Rare, Spirited, Legendary, Divine, and Supreme. The Trigram of Infinity is the only artifact that is above Supreme level. Tens of thousands of years ago, a clan by the surname "Xiao" was in possession of this artifact. However one day, the whole clan disappeared.
"Xiao Clan.. Why am I in possession of this?" Han Tian felt perplexed by this, but then, a realization set in.
"Xiao Fei Na" How could he not have realized it? Fei Na's first name was Xiao; she must have some connection to this clan. Then, a bigger realization set in as he concluded that the seven divines targeted him--no--Fei Na, for her connection to the Xiao family. The only reason the Demon Monarch wanted to help Han Tian with his revenge was not because of the monarch's desire to conquer the Divine Realm, but rather because of Fei Na's connection with Xiao Clan. The moment the revitalization ritual failed, all the Harbingers retreated, leaving Han Tian fending for himself.
As the realization settled in, the Trigram's hues of radiating color multiplied rapidly. Time dimension surrounding Han Tian suddenly paused, then it cracked into tiny pieces, creating a black hole.
After a brief moment, the Divine criminal who was dubbed as the Demon's Child, Han Tian, vanished.
