Cloudborne Performance: The Path to Godhood Begins with a Carnival Performer

Yun Qiao excels at two things: using sleight of hand to fool people, and being lazy while muddling through life. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, her entire village is burned to the ground, and not a trace of her family’s remains is left. Beneath the scorched earth, a cult’s altar devours souls and drinks blood, forcing the girl onto the path of becoming an exorcist.
