After Pangu cleaved open primordial chaos, he perished. His essence became the Twelve Ancestral Wu, while his primordial spirit coalesced into the Three Pure Ones, the Dao Ancestors. Mount Buzhou held up the Six Realms, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi used the Chaos Bell to suppress the primeval world and establish the ancient divine court. During the first calamity, Gonggong smashed into Mount Buzhou in a fit of rage. Nüwa reforged the heavens with stones, and from then on, the divine realm sealed its gates.
The Beginning of Turmoil?:
At the end of the eighth calamity, a human boy named Li Chang'an pawns a bronze fragment at the foot of Shu Mountain, unexpectedly triggering a resonance from the Eastern Emperor Bell. The ley lines of Kunlun Ruins quake, and the chains binding Gonggong snap one by one. At the same time, the sea of blood in the demon realm churns, and the remnant soul of Chiyou is reborn through a Jiuli sacrifice. In Qingqiu of the demon realm, the white-furred nine-tailed fox Su Jiuli is born, the blood on the tip of her tail foretelling chaos in the heavenly order.
Fates Intertwined?:
As Pangu's bloodline awakens within Li Chang'an, the Seven Luminaries Divine Crystals appear. They are the source essence scattered after the fall of the Heavenly Emperor, Dijun. The Immortal Realm's Ancestor Hongjun seeks to gather the crystals and restore the Heavenly Dao, while Demon Venerable Chiyou intends to use them to break through his seal. On her master's orders, Lu Xueyi pursues the fallen immortal Ling Xu Zi, but in the ghost market she meets Tantai Jing, who controls the Samsara Mirror, and glimpses a future in which Li Chang'an is pierced through the heart by the Xuanyuan Sword.
