Curator note

In the previous life, spiritual energy revived, and gods and demons from the silver screen descended to the mortal realm. Thor raised his warhammer, and the gods of the West crossed the sea. On the night Zhuhai fell, Lu Jinghui, a down-on-his-luck film dealer, was trapped under the ruins of a theater. Suddenly, a roll of old film reversed, and the familiar Taoist priest from Maoshan rushed out from the ruined screen. He turned around, grinned, straightened the frame, rang the copper bell one last time, and faced the evil gods of the city alone. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in Zhuhai Port in the 1980s. At this time, Hong Kong and Pearl River Delta cinema was in its golden age, but nobody knew: Movies are the greatest temple of our time; the screen is the idol, the box office is the incense offering, and the memories of hundreds of millions of viewers are enough to bring fictional characters to life. Others make movies to make money. Lu Jinghui makes movies to create idols. Starting with "Fuxian Village," the Maoshan brothers reunite, using a hundred bells to suppress the corpse, thunder magic to open the heavens, a thousand cranes to form an array, and a lion's roar to awaken the soul. Yan Chixia wields ten thousand swords across the sky, Nie Yinniang slays gods across a thousand miles, Zhong Kui pushes open the gates of hell, and the True Lord of the Pure Source Mysterious Way opens his heavenly eye amidst the incense offerings of millions... When the gods of the Western screen once again set foot on the land of the East, what they saw was no longer an unprepared city. Instead, it's an entire Eastern mythology that Lu Jinghui personally filmed. "Photographer in position." "The gods have returned to their places." "Power on!" "This time, it's our superheroes' turn to step in!"

A terrifying god has always hung high above humanity, bringing pollution to the world, toying with humankind, and manipulating people's hearts. After everyone became aware of the existence of the evil god... The immense crisis spurred a technological explosion, with powerful and highly skilled individuals using these technologies to build interstellar spaceships and establish starships, allowing humanity to escape Earth. They publicly declared this was merely a forced strategic retreat, promising to return to Earth and save humanity once their strength was sufficient. Many who submit to the evil god willingly become its slaves, calling themselves children of the god. Before the evil god even descends upon Earth, they begin to occupy and enslave it. They hope to survive in the future, regardless of who rules the world. Most humans became hedonists. After the starship humans left Earth, their first priority was to seize resources, establish human paradises, and refuse to be enemies with anyone. Their only thought was to enjoy freedom and pleasure to the fullest before the arrival of the evil god; what did the destruction of Earth matter to them? The world is hard, but there are still those who never give up fighting against evil. Faced with this broken world, there will always be those who silently mend it; for the sake of children and hope, there will always be those who defy the gods, unafraid of sacrifice!
