Starting by Repairing the Landscape Painting of Society and the State

In a turbulent age, demons and specters run rampant, bringing chaos to courts and martial circles alike. Ancient artifacts shatter, strange events unfold, and all await the one chosen by Heaven’s mandate. With the Map of Mountains and Rivers in hand, He Yu travels between two worlds, restoring a mythic realm left in ruins. Ghostly foxes devour the moon, golden crows soar across the sky. Beneath Mount Buzhou dwell the ancient gods: Erlang, the demon monkey, the Buddhas of the Western Heaven, the old Celestial Court... Slay each ghost, god, demon, and monster, and gain the power to take its form. “I’ve encountered countless gods and demons, yet every one of them calls me the one chosen by Heaven’s mandate.” A poem bears witness: In the North Sea, ghostly foxes devour the waning moon; at Fusang, ten golden crows brandish golden spears. The gods of the Western Kunlun are buried with nowhere to rest; on the eastern shore, a great demon claims the title Equal to Heaven.
