Kidnapped and taken to a hellish mountain village, she awakens the power of a thousand-year-old phoenix empress's judgment at the brink of death: justice that chains cannot restrain, and sins too vile for even hell to contain.
Her Staff of Judgment tears through the void, and the Throne of Judgment commands yin and yang. As the wicked of the human world are sent one by one into the Infernal Hell, she thinks this is the end of her quest for justice. She doesn't know it's only the beginning of a chaotic struggle across time and space.
The temporal shadows deep in the village chief's soul, the blood-red gaze peering through the rifts in hell, the shattered fragments of the Seal of Judgment... Why does a trial seemingly aimed at the crimes of the human world involve mysterious villains who have infiltrated the very order of hell?
What secrets of time and space are hidden in the four sacred artifacts of judgment revealed by the empress's lingering voice? Was her kidnapping an accident, or a trial ordained long ago?
Liang Qionghua grips the Staff of Judgment, punishing the sins of the human world as she searches for the truth about time and space. As hell's order collapses and the rifts between worlds yawn open, will she be the judge who ends the calamity, or a pawn manipulated by fate?
And the temporal villains lurking in the darkness have never been targeting hell alone...
