The Return of the Supernatural

Lanyue, it's me, Ye Xingyu. By the time you read this letter, I may already be gone. Don't be sad. This was my choice. I have done right by Heaven, but I have wronged only you...

This is a whole new world. A hundred years ago, a meteorite fell onto this continent from the boundless sea of stars. Because of its unusual nature, spiritual qi revived throughout the world. Just as humanity had grown accustomed to the effects of spiritual qi, the world, now familiar with its revival and developing technology, faced the awakening of the supernatural.

All things in the world are bound by cause and effect.

The meteorite's fall led to technological advancement: this was the cause.

The revival of spiritual qi led to the awakening of evil spirits: this was the effect.

Evil spirits cannot be destroyed by ordinary means. Only power of the same origin can destroy them. Thus, cultivation in this world came to mean wielding the power of evil spirits. Those who do so are collectively known as the Otherwalkers.

Just as the supernatural forces prepared to attack, the human sage Yang Qingxuan charged alone into the Ancestral Land of the Supernatural. In the end, he remained there forever, buying humanity precious time.
