The day Chi You was sacrificed, the sky split open.
A Chen knelt on scorched earth, clutching his helmet.
A He snapped her jade pendant in two and entered the secret realm, never looking back.
Before entering seclusion, Xuan Yuan said, "Wait until I figure it out."
But the omen of Gong Gong crashing into the mountain slipped into A Chen's dreams first.
They all thought this was Cang Yuan's trap.
Until a heartbeat sounded from deep within Mount Buzhou.
Xing Tian was laughing.
Seven days bound by fate. Three years on the countdown.
A Chen said, "I'll decide my own fate."
A He took his hand. "I'll stay with you."
A vain white E Shou crouched by the spirit spring and spoke in a ghostly voice:
"I can tell your fortunes with a flick of my paw. You lot are either going to die or go crazy."
This is not a power fantasy.
This is the end of the primordial world, where a group of people destined for sacrifice protect the last glimmer of light in the depths of despair.
