Ten thousand years ago, the Calamity of Annihilation burned away the glory of the Five Regions. The Realm Key shattered, the alliance turned against itself, and darkness lay dormant for ten thousand years, waiting to rise again.
Ten thousand years later, the jade-wielding youth Ling Chen carries an ancient jade and the mystery of his mother's disappearance. He rises from a prisoner at Qingyun Sect to become the key to breaking the deadlock. Su Qinghan, an immortal-sect enforcer, abandons the Dao to follow her heart, vowing to tear open the sect's darkness. Ye Li, the fox clan's young mistress, sets her red robes ablaze with blood as she seeks to clear her people of a ten-thousand-year-old injustice. Mo Yuan, a black-clad demon general turned traitor, stains himself with blood and atones with his life, cutting off the source of calamity. Zhao Sanjin, a mortal with the power of life and death in his hands, relies on his streetwise instincts to protect every member of the team. Xie Yunzhou, a talisman master burdened by a sea of blood-deep hatred, appears on the scene and uses forbidden arts to shape the outcome, pursuing revenge and protection side by side. Ling Xi, a spirit-clan girl who sees through Heaven's Mandate, gives up her very essence to carve a path to survival for all seven.
Immortals and demons stand opposed, humans and spirits follow different paths, and their convictions clash like fire and water. Yet in the face of despair, they join forces. They overcome suspicion through unity and fight the darkness with their blood and passion. Every one of them enters the game, wielding the pieces to break it! Fragments of the Realm Key lie scattered across the Five Regions, and the ultimate altar awaits the final battle. This time, they will not be pawns at someone else's mercy. They will be the players who rewrite Heaven's Mandate! Let the Calamity of Annihilation come. They will fight! The secrets of the Five Regions are theirs to uncover!
It's wonderful, beautiful, and I'll always be fascinated by the group portraits!!!
