Yanzhou Continent is said to be a place cast down from the divine realm beneath the Nine Heavens, where mortals have an unparalleled chance to ascend and become gods. Though Yanzhou Continent was once breathtakingly beautiful, the ravages of war have long since robbed it of its former name as a paradise on earth.
Everything that was once beautiful was merely an illusion, like flowers in a mirror or the moon reflected in water. War restored the world to what it had always been. The endless mountain ranges are the bones of ancient giants, while the Deer-Drinking River that cuts across the land was formed from the blood of primordial gods.
In this false world, are gods and demons truly real, or is this a shattered dream? Or is it that single crimson glow illuminating heaven and earth?
As Yanzhou Continent neared its destruction, bathed in crimson light, it saw the dawn that would redeem the night.
