The Heavenly Dao is collapsing, yin and yang are in chaos, and beneath the lights of every household lie deadly rules that devour people.
Wandering fiends run rampant, vengeful spirits claim lives, calamities seal off entire regions. Worse still, the Netherworld and Yama have become conceptual disasters looming over the world. Gods and Buddhas have withdrawn from sight, while the immortal sects stand beyond reach.
