The shadow of the “Polluted Divine Realm” tore reality apart. The gods who once protected all living things became prisoners of the rules.
When I dealt with the Faceless Man, I thought it was simply a resurgence of the uncanny. But the gods' whispers had already crossed dimensions and reached my ears.
In an ancient castle, the corrupted King Arthur swung his sword and severed the bonds of faith. In a shrine, Amaterasu turned her light into a shadow that reaped lives. The fabled Penglai Isles loomed and vanished on the sea, exhaling clouds of mist. Zeus's furious thunder rumbled down from the atmosphere...
And I, Lu Shen, was just an ordinary high school student who had been caught up in it all by chance.
Until the pearl in my mind began to awaken,
Until I shattered the core of my first haunted zone with my own hands,
Until I heard the forgotten names of the gods wailing...
Only then did I understand: this wasn't a disaster. It was a war.
A war that had begun long ago, but that no one knew about...
A war between humanity and the gods.
