The uncanny rises, and the gods descend. Humanity uses the power of “Forbidden Ruins” to build a great wall, forming the Bureau of Ruin Suppression.
Lu Ran, a boy parasitized by a fragment of an ancient god, bears the fate of a “Bearer of the Eye” and is forced to join this war for survival.
From wielding the power of the Ashen Eye and finding comrades-in-arms, to uncovering the mystery of his origins and facing the director's betrayal, he discovers that the so-called gods are merely wanderers longing to return home, and the so-called apocalypse is a cycle that has lasted three thousand years.
When the truth behind the Gate of the End is revealed, only two paths lie before him: become a new god, or, in a mortal body, reforge the chains binding the two worlds.
“This time, humanity's fate will not be judged by the gods.”
