Beyond the immortals lies another realm, beyond the heavens lies another heaven. In palaces above, the gods and immortals dwell.
A wayward soul falls into the mortal realm, clad in black, with an ink-dark sword, and knocks upon the summit of the dust-strewn world.
College student Jing Yan's soul is accidentally drawn into the underworld of Taiyu, a world in another realm.
With the “warm help” of Cui Yu from the Office of Yin Law, he not only fails to return to Earth, but inexplicably comes back to life in an unfamiliar body...
Ox-Head and Horse-Face, the Nine Hells of the Yellow Springs, Pangu splitting heaven from earth...
Earth's myths are unfolding once more here. Is it coincidence, or fate?
Eons ago, the ancient immortal Pangu created heaven and earth in Taiyu, dividing it into the Three Realms and Five Heavens:
The Heavens, the Human Realm, and the Underworld.
The Five Heavens: Beyond the Immortals, Hongmeng, Imperial Supremacy, the Mortal World, and the Yellow Springs.
“The Hongmeng Heaven is the origin of karma.” The words sent from the Buddhist shrine were cryptic and obscure.
Strange corruption, Buddhism in decline, upheaval in the Heavenly Court...
Could the many anomalies of a thousand years ago be connected somehow?
“This calamity's causes and consequences are hard to trace, and its variables are endless. What should we do?”
“Make your body the kindling and your life the bait. That's all.”
