Welcome to the fantastical world of the gods!
This is the first book in the Saint series.
(Mythology fusion + fantasy + alternate world)
Fifteen-year-old Tang Li unexpectedly receives an admission letter from Century Academy, setting him on the path to a legendary life. In this mysterious world where divine descendants and demonic descendants coexist, fortune-tellers everywhere make the same shocking prophecy: the Demon King is about to awaken, and a new epic is about to begin. Tang Li, the boy who summoned the Sword Soul of Discourse eight years ago, has been singled out as one of the epic's central protagonists.
The wheels of fate begin to spin wildly, and Tang Li embarks on a hard road strewn with thorns. In just six months, cruel reality deals him one blow after another. First, he encounters countless difficulties on his way to school. Then, upon arriving, he receives devastating news: his mother had already died on a mission, and his father was killed on his final mission before they could reunite. During the battle at the Heavenly Palace, the Demon King Shura appears in the world. Liu Baishi, his father's close friend, consumed by guilt and self-reproach, dies alone in the Heavenly Palace.
Meanwhile, the world is thrown into turmoil. The demonic descendants celebrate, cheering that the age of demons is about to return, while the world of the divine descendants is shaken. To survive this epic crisis, all sides have no choice but to set aside their differences and unite. Yet under the shadow of crisis, the complexities of human nature are laid bare. Hypocritical masks fall away, and undercurrents surge among the various factions. Some will do anything to claim the glory of having their names attached to the epic; others seek to snuff out the hope at its very beginning.
Amid dire straits and fierce conflict, a new generation of legends is quietly taking root and breaking through the earth. See how Tang Li will press onward through this chaotic age and write a legend of his own.
