During the spiritual qi revival, the first things to appear aren't mutated creatures or humans with supernatural powers. Instead, the dead from ancient times begin coming back to life...
"I am Qin Shi Huang. I never died. Send me money at once, or I'll lead tens of thousands of cavalry to raze your home!"
"I am the Pharaoh. Fools, offer up your gold and silver, or I'll mummify you!"
"I am Zeus. You are all my subjects. Disobey me, and I will erase you from the temple at once, so you can never enter heaven!"
The world is in chaos. The ancients return with divine powers, mutated creatures overrun human territory, and humanity, long convinced it is the wisest of all beings, is the last to awaken.
"My name is Xu Chen. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Burying people or ghosts, it's 250 either way!"
A young man swaggers around with a black iron shovel and a black donkey's hoof, carrying a huge black coffin two meters tall on his back.
"I don't care who you are. If you're dead, I'll bury you!"
