The gods slumber, false gods run rampant, and beneath the cracks in the city lie forgotten divine flames and the fates of young people.
Seventeen-year-old orphan Lin Zhou was chosen by divinity during a strange phenomenon, receiving Zhulong's blessing: the dual powers of the fire element and fragments of time. Yet this power was impossible to fully control, and was even quietly tearing his soul apart.
He was sent to a theological academy, where he fought alongside gifted youths from different divine traditions, hunting demons and undergoing trials against false gods, burning himself away on battlefields where reality and the mysterious intertwined.
But as the divine trials began, he gradually realized that he was not a lucky recipient of a blessing, but a vessel "made" by the gods: an instrument meant to usher in divinity, or a flame that would set fate alight? Before he burned the world to ash, he had to find the answer.
When Zhulong opens its eyes, time will burn.
And he will ultimately become the enemy of all the gods:
"I am no follower of the gods. I am the one who sets their names ablaze."
