The old ways burn away, and aberrations proliferate.
After his clan is destroyed, the cultivator Lin Yuan sets out to uncover the truth behind the Age of Decline. Every step in his cultivation makes his body less human.
Qin Wu of the Demon-Suppression Bureau leads an elite army in resisting the tide of aberrations with mortal bodies.
Meanwhile, Gu Chengan, a covert agent at court, weaves a deadly web to protect imperial power amid a maelstrom of political intrigue.
When cultists summon a god, colossal beasts attack the city, and the dynasty crumbles, the ultimate source of the aberrations is finally unleashed, plunging the world into a blood-soaked abyss.
Forced onto the same path across the wasteland left by a shattered civilization, the three join forces, wielding an aberrant cultivator’s body, the iron bones of a martial warrior, and the cunning of imperial power
in a final battle for the survival of humanity.
This is a civilizational choice that transcends differences in strength, and a tragic epic written by mortals in the depths of despair.
