The three gods have been playing their game since the dawn of time. Mingyan wants to watch civilizations burn. Qingxu wants to turn all things into chaos. Cisheng is forced to rebuild the ruins time and time again. They calculated the ending long ago: all living beings are no more than dust on a chessboard.
But the dust developed an obsession.
The Dugu clan inherited the power of destruction, and every generation opened the Eye of Annihilation in despair and fury. The Su bloodline inherited the power of yin and yang, and some chose pure evil while others fell into reincarnation. The women who inherited the power of creation died tragic deaths, took their own lives, and were devoured, generation after generation, like a nightmare from which they could never wake.
