The Kunlun celestial maiden Ba was the youngest daughter of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. Born with the pure yang energy of heaven and earth, she brought warmth and life to all things.
The Battle of Zhuolu shook the heavens. Chiyou summoned Feng Bo and Yu Shi to unleash storms that swept across the land, trapping the Yellow Emperor's army in a hopeless predicament.
To save her father and all living beings, she burned away her divine essence. With the pure yang in her body, she dispelled the winds and stopped the rain, turning the tide of battle.
But Chiyou's dying curse sent her divine power into a frenzy. Wherever she went, the land became barren for thousands of miles, and not a drop of rain fell.
Overnight, the celestial maiden who had saved the world became the drought demon reviled by all.
For the sake of the world, her father painfully banished her north of the Red River, forever cutting her off from the Central Plains.
Her azure robes of the Jade Pool turned to dust, and the old dream of warm mists burned to ash.
She endured eternal solitude, the ingratitude of humanity, and the abandonment of the gods.
All her life, she was used, discarded, slandered, and exiled.
She saved the world, yet the world left her nowhere to call home.
This is the heartbreaking and tragic song of an ancient goddess who fell from the clouds into hell.
The celestial maiden is dead. All that remains is the drought demon, wandering the wilderness alone, forever without a home.
