Wang Xiaoer, conceived during a turbulent era, was born into this world.
(The world of Slay the Gods is set in 2039 and was written in 2021, so the protagonist has never read it.) This world was strange: the entire Earth was shrouded in mist, except for Great Xia.
At first, Wang Xiaoer thought it was a world undergoing a spiritual qi revival. Ten years passed, and he still hadn't noticed anything unusual.
When he was eight, his parents, members of the Mist Exploration Team, disappeared. His aunt, Wang Fang, took him to Cangnan City.
Only then did a golden talisman suddenly appear in his mind, and Wang Xiaoer discover that this world wasn't merely undergoing a spiritual qi revival. It was a world where the eerie and humanity coexisted.
The whole of Cangnan City could be called a ghost town!
Nearly two-thirds of its residents were dead, yet some mysterious force seemed to keep them alive. Even his aunt, Wang Fang, was no longer among the living!
