Spiritual energy quietly returns. Beneath the neon lights of the city, lurking demons whisper, and gateways to other worlds begin to open. Immortals, gods, Buddhas, and demons descend, claiming to save the world with compassion, but their gift is a chilling prophecy: humanity will be sacrificed. When the first divine punishment tears across the sky, prosperity turns to scorched earth, and despair spreads.
Twelve sealed presences awaken at once: in the shadows of skyscrapers, at the ends of subway tunnels, and deep in ancient streets... They are guardians forgotten by history, heroic spirits chosen by famous swords. Ying of the Great Qin murmurs, and Chun Jun of the Great Han rings out... The guardians who have crossed the cycles of reincarnation open their eyes once more in this age of waning magic.
"Mighty Qin, march together to face the nation's peril!" The cavalry's roar shatters glass curtain walls.
"Those who dare invade the mighty Han, no matter how far away, will be executed!" A resounding proclamation shakes the skies.
The sleeping dynasties tear away their modern disguises and lead their iron-blooded armies across time, fighting alongside the demon race and the underworld for the sake of survival.
At the heart of it all is the first sword to awaken: Great Xia's Longyuan. It once witnessed its younger sister ascend the throne, and it will also watch her through tear-filled eyes. Facing the mightiest beings of all realms, Longyuan and his comrades will use their blades and their very flesh to write humanity's final, most blazing epic: This body may fall, but this soul will never die. The torch will be passed on, and the mountains and rivers will be guarded forever.
