In ancient times, the cosmos was divided into six realms: the human, immortal, divine, demon, yaoguai, and ghost realms. Each guarded its own territory, and ten thousand years of peace was finally shattered by war. Five hundred years ago, a cataclysmic battle broke out across all six realms. To protect their peace, the ancient God of War, who governed the order of all creation, sacrificed himself in battle. He dispersed his divine power in the secret realm of the Heavenly Abyss, leaving behind only an undying bloodline and a fragment of his soul to reincarnate in the mortal world as an ordinary human. The God of War’s bloodline was the only key to keeping evil in check across the three realms. Fearing that he would awaken and punish them for their sins, the rulers of the demon, yaoguai, and ghost realms saw the reincarnated mortal as a thorn in their side. They hunted him across realms year after year, determined to kill him before he could come into his own.
The nine ancient divine dragons under the God of War’s command had scattered across the six realms before the battle to cultivate in seclusion. They had long since forged a bond of life and death with their master. Their thoughts were always with him, and when they sensed that he was repeatedly besieged, covered in wounds, and on the brink of death, they crossed the barriers between the six realms in an instant and raced thousands of miles to his aid. In a world-shaking spectacle, the Nine Dragons hauled his coffin through the heavens, shielding their master and his mortal beloved as they broke through the pursuing armies of the three realms and made for the safety of the immortal and divine realms. The road ahead was long. The two endured tangled grudges and romances, fought bloody battles, braved countless secret realms and perilous places, and weathered one hardship after another. To awaken the God of War’s bloodline and mend his broken body, they successively absorbed the immortal realm’s spiritual leyline energy and the divine realm’s primal power, and found ancient divine swords sealed away for eons, peerless immortal swords, and secret manuals hidden in a heavenly archive. In the end, the mortal shed his human body and broke through one realm after another, cultivating immortality and attaining godhood. He reclaimed the renown of the ancient God of War and, with the power of the nine dragons, quelled the turmoil across the six realms, ended the calamity ravaging the three realms, and restored peace and order to all six.
