Diverging Paths: The Three Realms at War

Gods and demons stand opposed. The gods regard human geniuses as “disposable pawns for killing demons,” while the demons see humans as “filling for their bellies.” Trapped between them, humanity still seeks the gods’ protection. Zhu Linyuan was once among them, hoping to borrow divine power to avenge his family’s slaughter.

But the truth behind the gods’ trial shattered his hopes: the gods had turned a blind eye to the murder of his village, and the geniuses were nothing but puppets waiting to be branded with “divine marks.” As his faith crumbled, the ancestral soul within the Abyss Dragon Blade appeared and awakened him: “Humanity must walk its own path.”

From then on, Zhu Linyuan takes the Fifteen Gates, a sword, and a blade onto the stage where the three races face off. He will not depend on the gods or compromise with the demons. He trains in martial arts only to carve out a way for humanity to survive without relying on others.
