The continent of Erya, trapped in a cycle of fate for ten thousand years.
The seven divine crystals of sacred light, forged at the creation of the world, were scattered among mortals. One end upheld the laws that kept all things in order, while the other was bound to the chaotic source of the void's annihilation. Since time immemorial, vessels of fate have appeared in succession, yet every one of them has fallen to the struggles between good and evil and the schemes of gods and demons.
The age of chaos brings the world to ruin, and war spreads like wildfire.
The Church monopolizes the orthodox path of sacred light, wielding the power of life and death and branding dissenters as heretics. The Withered Bone Cult lurks in a cursed wasteland, laying sacrificial formations deep within the earth to summon the chaos of the abyss. In a rift in the void, the Lord of Annihilation dwells at the heart of chaos, plotting for ten thousand years to break the world's seal and annihilate every mortal race.
Leonard is a banished priest, a dying ember who crawled from a pool of blood in Blackthorn Town. Burdened by his sect's disgrace and the fate of all living beings, he struggles to survive in a chaotic age with four scattered divine crystals of sacred light.
In exile in the western lands, he allies with the powerful figures of the Lost Dusk Temple, forges pacts with seven ancient guardian beasts on the brink of the Sacred Realm, and puts down roots in the disaster-ridden cursed wasteland.
The leader of the Sacred Realm Church emerges, setting a deadly trap for three factions. A demon's soul spies on the Dao, while a two-colored tribulation burns his body. Heavenly trials lie ahead, with schemes and intrigue close behind.
With a mortal's body, he defies fate:
He breaks through the barriers of transcendence, unites five crystals, and ascends to the orthodox, fully realized Sacred Realm;
He carves out a territory in the western lands and establishes the Ember Sacred Court to shelter displaced people;
He shatters the Church's schemes and unites the races of the continent to form an army of order;
He smites the subterranean demon lord and sets his sights on the true source of annihilation in the void.
Everyone says fate cannot be defied and chaos cannot be stopped.
