In 2050, the civilization of Qiongyan descended upon Earth from the depths of the vast sea of stars.
A selection spanning the universe began, and the otherworldly game known as Realm was officially unveiled.
Countless ordinary people were chosen as human warriors. Their consciousness crossed dimensional barriers and plunged into the demon realm, where endless slaughter raged.
On that dark land, they cast off the shackles of their mortal bodies and became extraordinary warriors, unstoppable in battle as they fought and bled for their lives.
But once they returned to the human world, all their power vanished, and they became ordinary people once more, lost in the everyday bustle of life.
Extraordinary envoys dispatched by the Qiongyan civilization roamed among billions of players, searching for those chosen to venture into a higher sea of stars.
Those selected would transcend the mortal world, enter the grand halls of the Qiongyan civilization, and embrace limitless evolution.
But when humanity glimpsed the truth, it finally understood: this favor was never a gift, but a shackle.
To protect the human world on which they depended and defend the dignity of human civilization, a band of warriors returned from the demon realm and launched a sweeping struggle against the exalted Qiongyan civilization, a battle that would set the universe ablaze.
On one side lay the boundless realms atop the altar of the gods; on the other, the lights of countless homes in their earthly homeland.
Mortals raised their swords and defied the stars.
