The Red Moon is a "trial" imposed on civilization by a higher civilization or the laws of the universe. It awakens extraordinary abilities in individuals and tests whether civilization can remain united and orderly in the face of absolute power. Civilizations that fail will fall into eternal chaos. In ancient times, the ancestors of Huaxia relied on powerful artifacts such as the Imperial Jade Seal and chose the path of "uniting the people and passing civilization down through the ages." They passed the trial and drove away the Outer Gods. Now a new trial has begun.
