When Heaven’s way is unjust, the Six Realms must fall into chaos.
The heavens are rotten and the gods have fallen, yet they remain forever on high. Wronged souls in Hell can never be reborn, all because they refuse to believe in the gods. The emperor of the mortal world begs Heaven for thirty years, only to be answered with a devastating drought. A million Asura warriors die in battle, yet cannot even touch the fruit of the Wish-Granting Tree. Demonic beasts are hunted, hungry ghosts abandoned, and all living things wail in misery, unheard by anyone.
Until that day...
An emperor of the mortal world, struck dead by heavenly lightning, roars with his remnant soul: “If Heaven is unjust, then I will strike it down!” A judge who secretly freed wronged souls raises the Lamp of Clear Conscience: “Punishment is not tyranny. Let this lamp shine forever, exposing every injustice under Heaven!” A hungry ghost who never feels hunger cradles the Pearl of Purity: “I saved the whole world, but I could not save myself.” A dog who can hear the cries of all living things blows the Flute of Unity: “All life is equal. Let one song unite us, and let us protect every mountain, river, plant, and tree!” An Asura who has laid down his weapons grips the Evil-Breaking Halberd: “I point my halberd not to wage war, but to use my own body to quell the wrathful madness of all three realms!” A celestial maiden betrayed by her own kind plucks the Guangling Zither: “One song from the Guangling shall silence Heaven’s laws. May all sounds return to harmony, and keep the skies serene!”
Six people, six realms, strangers to one another.
But they do not know...
They were once one person, split into six by a single mistaken thought.
The Heavenly Way is her clarity, the Asura his anger, the Human Realm his determination, the Beast Realm her compassion, the Hungry Ghost Realm his redemption, and Hell her mercy.
The day the Six Realms descend into chaos will be the day the six meet again.
When six lights shine together, when six cries ring out across the Three Realms...
The truth will shake the heavens.
