Above the lonely tower, Xie Yun holds dominion, as if holding the fuse to the world’s collapse. All living beings are ensnared in an invisible web and regard him as the source of calamity. Beyond the rift in the sky, the swords that point his way point to his name as well. Whispers rise from the abyss; all things are pieces on a board. He walks alone through the ashes of his homeland and the people he loved. Yet when the flames that would destroy the world scorch the heavens, it becomes clear that beneath the shackles of the “false god” who burns all things to ashes, he has already forged himself into the final fuel, ready to remake the shattered wheel of fate in the depths of annihilation.
