Twelve thousand years ago, the Primordial Civilization, whose people could compile all things through their mother tongue, began to fracture after a single question. Some Primordial people became living concepts and ascended as gods who governed the laws of heaven and earth. Others gave up their power to shape matter directly, using language and writing to build the foundations of civilization. The rest devoted themselves to pursuing truth, and over the long ages became cyclical void tides that constantly erode the divine realms and unravel the gods. As the seals weaken, the gods can no longer act in person and can only project fragments of their divinity onto mortals. Nine fragments of the Primordial Civilization, hidden within the world's various mythologies, await someone who can hear their voices. The young Lin Yuan accidentally awakens a stone tablet fragment engraved with Primordial roots. Accompanied by the strange beast Qiongqi, he sets out on a long journey across eight pantheons. The Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Japanese, Persian, Indian, Aztec, and Huaxia gods each command a core concept, while the laws of war, imperfection, chaos, freedom, destruction, and light intertwine and clash. Mortal champions chosen by the gods also emerge, each bearing a destiny that carries them through its rises and falls.
