In 2250, the heavens and earth on Earth underwent a resurgence.
The mysterious “qi” appeared before humanity for the first time, setting the whole world ablaze with excitement.
But before long, people discovered the bizarre beings that came with “qi”: elves, ghosts, zombies, and ferocious beasts.
Humanity around the globe confidently went to war against them, only to find that these creatures feared human technology not at all. Even powerful weapons like nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, and plasma cannons could only badly injure weaker creatures. Against the strongest, they were utterly useless.
With humanity on the brink of extinction, Chinese scientists developed special weapons based on Daoist talismans, barely managing to drive the creatures back.
At the same time, the secretive Daoist sects within China emerged from hiding, saving lives in this time of crisis. They spread Daoist arts, giving humanity the means to defend itself against the creatures.
But as “qi” continued to revive, more and more powerful creatures awoke.
This is a war between humanity and the bizarre, and a battle to end the world...
