The End of the Gods

Of the three thousand Great Daos, where does the path lie? And what awaits at its end?

An endless sea of corpses and a shattered road to heaven? Or the sudden awakening from a grand dream, like flowers reflected in a mirror and the moon's reflection in water, only to realize that everything has just begun...

An upheaval, just as expected, turns a small town into a melting pot in the blink of an eye. Nobles of the imperial family, scions of prominent clans, princes and generals, and immortals from the mountains are everywhere.

Beneath the seemingly calm surface, the waters churn and hidden currents surge, concealing a storm of immense proportions.
