The Heavenly Dao abhors excess; the Human Dao abhors perfection.
A calamity targeting Buddhism had already begun to brew in secret when Buddhism started flourishing after the Journey to the West.
Reborn as a remnant of the Asura Race, Buddhism’s death dealer, the chosen one of fate, and the protagonist of the calamity, Zhao Chen originally just had to follow the Heavenly Dao’s grand plan and play his part as a pawn. He might even have secured a position as a Heavenly Dao Sage.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans.
Heaven and earth underwent a cataclysmic change. The underworld shattered, yin and yang reversed, and hungry ghosts devoured the sky. The entire Primordial World was plunged into chaos by a tide of ghosts.
With the Heavenly Dao hidden beyond the heavens and its protection gone, Zhao Chen became a thorn in Buddhism’s side, a target they desperately wanted to eliminate.
