When the Yi Tribe from another dimension tears open the Boundary Gate and feeds on humanity's negative emotions, the nine spiritual nexus points across Jiuzhou come under attack one after another: the ancient pines of Mount Heng scorch, the East Sea lighthouse is shrouded in dust, and resentment coils around the stone bridges of Jiangnan...
Shen Yan, a frail scholar bearing the Azure Gui Command, inherits the Qiming Armor, which can purify all things. Lu Cheng, a hot-blooded tough guy who swings a massive axe, hides the resilience of a stone vein beneath his Zhenyue Armor. Su Wan, an astrologer wielding the Firefly Command, can see dimensional rifts in its green light. Wen Ruo, a healer carrying the Azure Bamboo Command, can draw life from every blade of grass and tree.
The four Command-Bearers travel across Jiuzhou, from the scorched earth of the poplar forests to the wooded slopes of Changbai Mountain, from the misty waterways of Jiangnan to the icy brilliance of the northern glaciers. Their only goal is to gather the seven spiritual nexus relics and awaken the legendary Sun Nexus.
They battle the drought demon that devours vital energy and outwit the Old Fisherman of Worry, who fishes away people's emotions, before finally confronting the dark heart of the Yi Tribe's mother nest. But true protection has never meant destroying those who are different. When the Sun Nexus shines in their palms, they finally understand that the greatest power lies in the warmth of everyday human life and in the beliefs passed down from generation to generation.
This is a war that crosses dimensions, and an epic song of perseverance and reconciliation. As a new spiritual nexus sprouts beneath a stone bridge, their journey continues to unfold across the land of Jiuzhou.
