The bread knife stuck in Jon doe’s chest had an unusual pattern, I grabbed a camera from the nearest person and clicked a few pictures of the design “Email them to me.” I said as I was handing the camera back to them. It looked ancient and rare, not the usual bread knifes you’d find at our local stores here in Seattle. I looked up to find a detective watching my every move, it seemed that his one side of the face looked sunken in, similarly you only see this in people who don’t have teeth, which prompted me to look into his mouth, to find that all of his teeth had been pulled out. I sighed loudly and said “well, here goes our identification route of checking dental records, this body was left in the hopes that no identification will be made!” Craning my neck to have a look at the coroner who had just arrived on scene, I recalled working with her once before on another case when I first started as a rookie, Dr Leslie Adams is an expert in her field and one of the most professional and efficient woman. She looked down at me, and stated “Detective Rush you do know that the body you are looking at has been dead for more than 3 days, and also looks as if it was stored in a body freezer before being planted at this scene” I shook my head and realised that this is getting more intense by the second, “I hadn’t realised so Doc, that’s the reason we have you here, to help me solve the mystery “- I said whilst walking up to her, I held out my hand and gave her hand a firm handshake.

Surga yang Berdarah: Reinkarnasi Sang Kaisar Terbuang Di puncak Alam Sembilan Surga, Kaisar Langit Xue Feng pernah menjadi lambang keadilan—hingga pedang saudara-saudaranya sendiri menikam punggungnya. Dalam satu malam penuh darah dan api, surga yang harusnya suci runtuh; kepercayaan, persaudaraan, bahkan namanya sendiri dihapus dari sejarah. Sebelum napas terakhirnya padam, ia bersumpah: “Surga yang meneteskan darahku akan kembali menjerit dalam api dendam.” Namun kematian hanyalah gerbang baru. Arwah Xue Feng terperangkap di Alam Tiga Sunyi—dimensi terlarang tempat jiwa-jiwa pemberontak dibekukan selamanya—hingga kepingan Inti Jiwa yang tersebar memberinya kesempatan kedua. Ia bereinkarnasi sebagai Long Yichen, siluman naga hitam terbuang di dunia paling rendah, tanpa ingatan, tanpa kekuatan, hanya membawa luka emosional yang tak bisa dipadamkan. Dengan setiap fragmen Inti Jiwa yang ia kumpulkan kembali, Long Yichen mengingat pengkhianatan yang lebih keji: tujuh saudara kandungnya kini memegang tahta tujuh surga, sedangkan ibu kandungnya—yang tak pernah ia kenal—menjadi otak di balik rencana pemusnahannya. Menyelinap dari surga ke surga, ia harus memilih: apakah dia akan membalaskan dendam seribu kali lipat, ataukah menembus rahasia keberadaannya sendiri dan menyelamatkan surga yang kini dipenuhi darah? Perjalanan balas dendam ini bukan hanya tentang kekuasaan, melainkan tentang siapa yang berhak menentukan takdir langit. Karena mati adalah anugerah, tetapi tetap hidup dalam kenangan kebencian adalah kutuk yang harus dipecahkan… sebelum seluruh Alam Sembilan Surga benar-benar tenggelam dalam surga yang berdarah.
