Ghost Blows Out the Light: Tales of the Netherworld

Hu Bayi, a discharged soldier, thought he could enjoy a peaceful life in America with Shirley Yang and Wang Pangzi, far from the smoke of battle. But the peace was shattered by an unopened stone casket marked with a “Taiji Halo,” left behind by his grandfather, Hu Guohua.

As soon as the casket appeared, strange events began to unfold. The dragon veins across the country trembled, and evil creatures in ancient tombs grew unusually restless. Every clue pointed to an ancient legend about the “Ancestor of Ten Thousand Tombs.” It was no imperial mausoleum, but a prehistoric prison holding the “Shadows of the Old Ones,” beings that had existed since the dawn of Heaven and Earth.

A transnational force called “Entropy,” acting in the name of protection while pursuing plunder, also sprang into action.

To stop a crisis that could overturn reality, the Iron Triangle of Tomb Raiders had no choice but to return to their old ways. But this time, they weren’t raiding tombs for treasure. They were there to suppress a calamity! They had to gather the scattered fragments of the “keys” hidden in the secret realms of the Three Sovereigns and enter the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Tombs before the “Eye of Guixu” opened, carrying out a sealing ritual that could reverse life and death.

From the curse-breaking maze of Qingling on Mount Mang to the causal illusions of the Fuxi Mirror Lake; from the laws of life and death in the Shennong Medicine Cauldron to the mysteries of the soul on Nüwa’s Spirit Mountain… This was an expedition beyond the limits of human understanding. Only when they finally reached the center of the upside-down “tomb universe” did they realize that the most terrifying thing was not the monsters that devoured people, but the choices people made when faced with the ultimate temptation.

After five years in hiding, strange disturbances began anew. When the familiar horn sounded, would the ones returning be old friends, or a memory that needed to be buried forever?

This time, they weren’t fighting to survive. They were going to meet their deaths.
