During the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, the general Qi Diaolu tried to protect his remaining troops by killing and refining his blood-scaled armor, but suffered from the devouring dreams of thousands of souls every night. When he wore his scales and became the Shura God of War, he took off his armor and went to die, redeeming his sword with his life. In the last battle, the bloody armor fell away, and Gu Huaisheng was beside the grave.
