Shrouding the Heavens: I Am the Heavenly Emperor of Eternal Flame

When the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin descends upon Mount Tai, Qin Xuan awakens memories of his past life within an ancient bronze casket. He realizes he has become a nameless background character among Ye Fan’s classmates in this familiar world. Facing imminent threats such as the Ancient Star of Yinghuo, the Great Thunder Sound Temple, the Crocodile Ancestor, and the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, Qin Xuan understands that as a mere mortal physique, failure to change his fate means even his bones will be forgotten. In this critical moment, the Record of Eternal Flame activates, granting him the ability to borrow a strand of "Eternal Flame" from humanity’s future. Each borrowed power comes with a heavy price. To borrow a punch from the future Ye Tian Di, he must protect Ye Fan on his path to emperorhood. To borrow the residual flame of Amitabha Buddha, he must suppress the demons of Yinghuo. To borrow the Lotus Fire of the Green Emperor, he must protect the descendants of the Demon Emperor once. To borrow the Bell Sound of Wu Shi, he must shield humanity from an impending darkness. On the Ancient Star of Yinghuo, Qin Xuan borrows a fragment of Ye Tian Di’s fist intent to shatter the Divine Crocodiles and sever a finger of the Crocodile Ancestor. Within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, he dares not disturb the Empress but boldly takes holy fruits and divine springs before the Desert Slaves, leaving a promise: "I borrow the fruit today; I will repay the cause in the future." In the Lingxu Dongtian, Qin Xuan uses his mortal body to light a lamp that illuminates the sea, creating the Eternal Flame Heaven-Mending Method. While Ye Fan walks the path of the Sacred Body Emperor, Qin Xuan walks the path of Humanity’s Eternal Flame. He does not steal Ye Fan’s opportunities; instead, he forges a new path where even those with mortal physiques can ascend to the heavens. Years later, when the Dark Turmoil arrives and the Supremes of the Forbidden Zones look down upon all living beings, Qin Xuan stands beneath the starry sky. Behind him, the lights of ten thousand homes burn across the heavens. He declares, "Today, I do not borrow from the future. Today, I am the fire for those who come after."
