The Post-Immortal Era: Mortals and Monks on the Scorched Earth

Thirty thousand years ago, the world-destroying spiritual explosion destroyed the civilization of cultivating immortals. The survivors rebuilt order on the ruins and entered the "post-immortal era." The spiritual energy is thin, the monks are declining, and the organization is more important than the individual. Civilization struggles to breathe amid the periodic rise and fall of spiritual tides, and lingers between spiritual disasters and spiritual beasts. But that's not the whole truth. The spiritual explosion was not an accident. It was the last choice made by the Ancient One to seal away an even more terrifying threat. Now that the seal is loosening, the soul fragments scattered in time and space are gathered into one person. He is the key to unlocking the seal and the only variable in this era.
