Chapter 1 - Prologue – The Birth of Two Destinies

The Heaven Realm was a place of beauty and peace. High above the mortal world, it floated in endless skies filled with soft clouds and golden light. White jade palaces shone under the sun, and rivers of silver starlight flowed between the mountains. The air was always fresh, carrying the soft hum of divine energy.

On the coldest night in thousands of years, the Ice-Lotus Moon appeared in the sky. This rare moon was a sign of fate it was said that a child born under it would live a life filled with both blessings and hardships.That night, the Heaven King Shui Tianxuan and the Heaven Queen Lan Yueqin welcomed their first child. She was named Shui Feng, which meant Water Phoenix.

Shui Feng was no ordinary child. She was born with the soul of the Water Phoenix, a divine creature having a power of healing and purity. The moment she cried for the first time, the snow outside the palace began to melt into crystal-clear water, and gentle rain fell across the Heaven Realm.

From a young age, Shui Feng was graceful and calm. Her long black hair flowed like a river, and her eyes shone like the moon on a still lake. She was gentle to everyone from palace servants to soldiers and even as a child, she would sneak out to tend to the injured in the training fields. But her gentleness didn't mean weakness. She trained in water ice arts every day, and by the age of twenty, she could freeze a whole lake with a flick of her hand. She mastered the Thousand Petal Water Arts, a skill so powerful that even the Heavenly Elders were impressed.

Three thousand years after her birth, the royal family welcomed a second daughter Shui Lian, the Jade Lotus Princess. Unlike her elder sister, Shui Lian was lively and bold, quick to speak her mind, and often snuck out of the palace to explore. The two sisters shared a deep bond, with Shui Feng always protecting and guiding her younger sibling.

As the Heaven Realm thrived under peace,Far away from the gentle skies of the Heaven Realm lay the Demon Realm a land of dark mountains, burning skies, and roaring rivers of molten fire. It was a place where strength ruled, and only the powerful could survive. In the grand, black-stone palace at the heart of this realm lived the mighty Demon King and his queen.

After 5000 years of later, On the night of a blazing Blood Sun, their only son was born named Yu Moyan. Unlike other demons, Moyan was not entirely of darkness. His father's blood gave him unmatched demonic strength, while from his mother, a descendant of the Dragon Clan, he inherited the soul of a Fire Dragon fierce, proud, and unyielding.

When Moyan was born, firestorms raged across the realm, and crimson lightning split the skies. His first cry echoed like a dragon's roar, and ancient seals deep within the mountains trembled. From that day, the elders whispered that he was destined for greatness and perhaps, for disaster.

Moyan grew to be fearless and stubborn, always pushing his limits. His long crimson hair flowed like burning flames, his eyes glowed with the golden hue of dragons, and the heat of his aura could scorch the air around him. But beneath that fiery pride, there was a curious heart one that secretly longed to see the worlds beyond the Demon Realm.
