In the mist-shrouded Shu Basin, faith and power are intertwined. In the center of the earth stands a ten-foot-tall "bronze sacred tree". Legend has it that nine divine sun birds perch on the nine branches of the sacred tree. Those who control the sacred tree can communicate with the gods and be crowned "King of Shu".
However, there are undercurrents beneath the surface of prosperity. The dynasty that has ruled for hundreds of years is about to collapse, and the four ancient royal families start a bloody fight to compete for the "Golden Mask" that symbolizes the highest power.
