In a world shrouded in lies from the church, Elias, a monk, unexpectedly discovered that he was not an ordinary believer, but a descendant of the blood of gods. Three hundred years ago, the church used living people as containers to imprison the souls of gods, and then destroyed the containers to make the gods disappear. The "mark of divine grace" under his collarbone was actually a brand that sealed his bloodline, and many "tokens" around him were curses.
As the truth gradually unfolds, Elias, under the guidance of his mother (or a woman who claims to be his mother), learns that he needs to collect seven "Judgment Blades" - weapons left by the seven gods that can awaken the souls of the gods but also bring curses to break the control of the church. In the process, he was pursued by the church, including deacons, bishops and purification teams wearing scarlet cassocks. They used cruel means such as god-killing cannons to obstruct him.
Elias explores the ruins of Dongcheng District, the holy pool, the clock tower and other places, gradually awakening the power of blood, and also bears the risk of being swallowed by the will of the god. He discovered that his father had been a defected judge and sacrificed his life to protect the divine body; his mother was persecuted by the church for stealing the Seal Stone. On the ice field, he found the remains of the child of the Creation God, and the power of the bone blade was further awakened, but he also faced the curse of becoming a new container.
There is a long road ahead, the southern volcano group has the next blade of judgment, and the church is using the mother's remains as the core to build a new god-killing cannon. Elias's left hand gradually becomes boned and is influenced by the will of the gods in his real name. However, he carries the memories and expectations of countless people who were persecuted by the church. He is determined to break the cycle of executioners becoming sacrifices and explore the meaning of his own existence and the final verdict on the road of awakening the gods and fighting against the church.
