The story rests on a forgotten truth: in ancient times, humanity was not weak. On the contrary, humans once ruled heaven and earth, commanding all living beings through the vast fortune of the Human Way. But after an unknown catastrophe, whether suppression by the “Heavenly Dao” or some form of self-sacrifice, humanity’s sages willingly “severed earth from heaven.” They cut off the passage between the mortal and celestial realms, scattering their glorious legacy across the mortal world and reducing humanity to “mortal bones.” Now, the passage is about to reopen, and prodigies from every race will return to the world. The protagonist’s mission is not simply to ascend as an individual. Under apocalyptic pressure, he must recover the lost spark of the Human Way and win humanity a chance to survive.
