Dark clouds press down upon the world. Lin Yan wields his sword from humble beginnings, believing that his life is nothing more than a leaf floating on the currents of fate.
A spirit talisman in his arms ties him to a web of cause and effect, while a broken sword at the bottom of an abyss suppresses the past. He only wants to protect the small circle of light that is his home, unaware that the taboo sleeping in his blood is the greatest stake in a game that could overturn the Three Realms.
Before the ancient demon-suppression grounds, countless demons howl. Behind him stand his crumbling home and one person he must protect. At the brink of despair, the rusted sword cleaves the clouds, and the majesty of heaven awakens within his mortal body: he is a Qilin.
The demon world's princess, a Bai Ze, makes her move and reveals a fate stretching back through the ages. The human, demon, and devil realms all become whetstones for his sword.
When the mist finally clears, he will see the sword in his hand, and himself, for what they are.
A mortal body can bear the Mandate of Heaven. The player will ultimately break free of the game.
All his heart desires is to return home.
The mysterious woman who knows the mist, the shackles, the sword, and the fate that has followed him through the ages,
with every move she makes, lays a hidden thread stretching across time.
The treacherous sects of the human realm are stones that temper the heart;
the vacant throne of the demon realm is a mirror that reflects his image;
the shadow of the devil realm's annihilation is the whetstone for his sword.
When the mist finally clears, he will see the sword in his hand, and himself, for what they are:
A mortal body can bear the Mandate of Heaven.
The player will ultimately break free of the game!
In this life, he will not cultivate immortality or defy heaven.
With only a mortal heart,
he will follow his path, protect those he holds dear, and keep the world in balance!
