Even the Gods Have Names

Qing Muyun was the fastest flyer in Blackstone Village, but he had only the attribute of thunder, so at first he could only be classified as a Common rank. Changfu was born with water and fire at odds within him. Simply surviving until tomorrow took all the strength he had. After a border raid, several children left their homeland carrying a message that had to be delivered. They chased tales of the Heavenly King and the strongest warriors, hoping that one day they would be able to protect one another. But the farther they traveled, the more they encountered beyond legends: the snows of the far north sheltered those the world would not accept, cold fire pointed toward another form of life, the seat of the Beast God stirred the ambitions of every race, and even the eternal Zhulong could not stay out of it. Meanwhile, the Dragon Emperor’s shadow of the past gradually fell across the blank spaces in Muyun’s origins. By the time they finally had the power to touch the rules of the world, the question was no longer simply, “How strong can we become?” Could someone reject the identity others had written for him? After becoming a god, could he still remember who he used to be? And would the children who set out together from Blackstone Village still recognize one another?
