Anping Realm.
The Five Elements' source energy is missing, and the realm is on the verge of collapse.
The human race has trillions of cities and prefectures, and humans and demons are locked in bitter hostility.
Every prefecture must seal a great demon tied to one of the Five Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, or earth, to keep the realm stable.
The powers in each prefecture are tangled and complex. There are inspectors who seal great demons, and guardian clans who watch over the great sealing arrays.
Xia Yu is the only person in the Anping Realm with all four sources in one body.
Xia Yu's father is a low-born member of a family of smiths.
He was forbidden from marrying after breaking the human race's ironclad law by wedding a member of the demon race.
Here, there are carefully planned deceptions.
Here, there are breathtaking battles.
Here, there are brothers as close as family.
Here, there is love sealed with vows of eternal devotion.
The two are in Fengchang Prefecture, one of the realm's countless great prefectures.
The story begins with a deception Xia Yu designs on a whim.
See how one born with a heavenly mandate turns the tide and rises to godhood.
