Divine Court

When Pangu created the world, he split the lands and drew their borders. First he divided the pure from the impure, then the immortals from the mortals. The former dwell high in the heavens, gazing coldly down at the human world; the latter face the earth, mere common folk. The world is in turmoil and living beings suffer because the immortals above have meddled in the human realm. The Nine Provinces are divided, dynasties rise and fall, and the people are left destitute. With the support of the Celestial Frost Mountain Immortal Sect, the Great Liang Dynasty of Qiongling Province destroyed Great Sui and named its new era Tianqi. A young man burdened by hatred for his country and family comes from a remote corner of the Western Province. His goal is not to rule the world, but to reach the heavens.
