A war fought tens of thousands of years ago made Su Ming, an S-rank Honkai Martial God, the guardian knight of the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya.
He traveled far and wide, fought across the land, and battled several Great Demon Gods. With his crumbling body, he built the final gate, only to be buried underground forever.
The Salt Goddess Havria was no longer weak.
The Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya spent ten thousand years searching for his silhouette.
The Heavenly Principles inherited his final wish, protecting this last gate.
Ten thousand years later, after an adventurer named Ying dug him out from underground, he saw his own statue.
The world calls him a vicious warmonger, a cruel villain of humanity, and the mad Gate Demon God.
Ying and Paimon looked at Su Ming's face, then at the exquisite statue.
"I'm really not a gate god! Believe me!"
