Shining Spirit: Thunder's Heavenly Transformation

Why has the Thunder Republic in the west never been as peaceful as it seems on the surface? Are undercurrents churning beneath the surface, or is there a greater conspiracy at work? Why is the Fluorescent Society secretly pulling the strings? Does the legendary Xianqing Empire come from another continent or another world? Did Su Ya really open the coffin of the demigod Lan Huihong? Gu Wuji was once a lowly mercenary, but after his companions betrayed him over their share of the spoils, he was thrown into Thunder Prison. Can he uncover the culprit and get his revenge as he escapes? And why has the Dark Abyss, which once unleashed the undead scourge, become so eerily quiet? What direction will the world's fate take?
