In Tokyo, presiding over a sacrifice.
After being reborn more than a decade ago, Tiandao Mingyun discovered that he had somehow become the divine son of a host of gods and demons.
The good news: the gods receiving the sacrifice were very pleased with their offering.
The bad news: he was the offering, sacrificed by the mother he hadn't seen in over a decade!
"If you don't object, my lord, I would be honored to take you as my adoptive mother!"
Yet for some reason, Tiandao Mingyun couldn't help feeling that the gods looked at him strangely.
On a Kyoto night, at the hour when demons roam, a young shrine priest walked the streets as a hundred demons prowled all around him, greedily craving his flesh and blood.
But boundless shadows swallowed the world, and the divine might of a true god crushed the demons.
Looking at the wailing gods and demons, Tiandao Mingyun said helplessly, "At this rate, we're going to run out of local legends!"
