Four hundred years ago, the last emperor of the old dynasty hanged himself beneath a locust tree. His boundless resentment tore apart the boundary between Heaven and the mortal world. The gods descended and founded the Tianheng Institute to guard the mortal realm in their stead.

If Heaven itself falls, who will catch the mortal realm?
