[ Author Note: Before anyone comments, yes, I changed the lore of the Heavenly Marks Family in this story because, to me, the original lore about the Heavenly Marks Family made no fucking sense. For those that don't know, the Heavenly Marks Family is supposed to be descendants of this supreme cultivator who was one of the original ten who planned to kill the Sage Emperor. This lore genuinely makes me mad because it undermines the idea of Nie Li's hard work. This theme that Nie Li, in his first timeline, through hard work and the time and resources given to him by the Temporal Spirit Book—and I remind you that the book only slows down time and just gives access to a library, it doesn't increase talent—was able to become equal to the Sage Emperor, and this idea of Nie Li being an anomaly in the second timeline is something I really liked because it represented Nie Li's speech on what it means to be a cultivator. But the moment the lore drop of Nie Li being a descendant and him being fated to need the help of the other 10 descendants to destroy the Sage Emperor killed it for me. Yeah, no, so in this fanfic, the Heavenly Marks family were originally slaves who liberated themselves. The marks of their slavery, their "heavenly marks," do you get it? And their heirloom being the shackles of a slave. It's poetic, ironic, and cool in my opinion. I hope you guys like the change. ]
