The Shadow Crown

The Past, held in the palm of one's hand; Hope, grasped from afar; Stars, watching over Fantasy... In the Illusion Realm, humans once walked alongside the gods! But in a single night, the heavens changed. The Cold Springs mutated, the gods fell from grace, and the bond they once shared with humanity shattered. The gods and humans became sworn enemies.

Rather than the gods... we believe in humanity itself! In humanity's hour of crisis, amid its cries for help, a goddess named Sleepless was created. She led humanity on a campaign south and established its last home. She transformed divine arts into supernatural powers and rebuilt the cultivation system.

The spark of humanity endured, barely clinging to life.

The Shadow Realm, humanity's last home, still holds legends of the gods, but it is not a world where the gods reign supreme. Instead, it is a world centered on supernatural abilities and science fiction, where these powers are the foundation of every battle.

By a stroke of fate, Dai Yin transmigrated from Earth to the Shadow Realm. Then his close friend Lan Gui betrayed him, and he died consumed by hatred. Yet, at the moment of his death, the long-corrupted evil god of the Illusion Realm, [the Past], brought him back reborn.

Why did Time bring him back? Why did the Cold Springs change? Why have the gods gone mad? And what does the Undying Plan mean? Revenge, conspiracies... they keep unfolding around him.

In this life, he will use his [Formerly] ability as a guiding light, journey through the black fog of the Shadow Realm, pursue the sealed remnants of the Illusion Realm, uncover the cause of the gods' corruption, and seek the source of the Cold Springs' mutation. Step by step, he will unravel the ultimate mystery woven between the Shadow Realm and the Illusion Realm.
