The Xianyu Universe

After the ancient Investiture of the Gods, the Human Emperor’s destiny was severed, throwing humanity out of balance. The gods of the heavens were left without checks or restraints. As time passed, their Daoist hearts rotted, the Celestial Court grew rigid and diseased, and the order of the ages gradually crumbled. The Chaos Void Demons, lying dormant in the chaos for countless eons, seized the opportunity to invade. They bewitched hearts with illusions and corroded the Dao with obsession, quietly eroding the laws of the heavens and corrupting the gods’ innermost selves. A great calamity descended upon the Three Realms.

Long ago, the three great heroes Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and Nezha had already seen the Celestial Court’s sickness and the flaws in the Heavenly Dao. They defied the laws of heaven, broke the rules, and challenged fate. They were not rebellious troublemakers, but the earliest pioneers who sought to mend the heavens and save the Dao in the Three Realms. Yet the time was not right, and their strength alone could not heal the ancient disease. The Celestial Court suppressed and sealed them away, erasing their names, while the Human Emperor’s lineage was wiped out entirely. From then on, the world knew only to worship the gods, unaware that the Heavenly Dao had been broken.

Millions of years passed in the blink of an eye. Rifts spread through the void, the gods’ hearts crumbled, and the Celestial Court teetered on the brink of collapse. The Jade Emperor finally came to his senses. Knowing that the old system had rotted and the old gods could no longer be relied upon, he realized that only by opening a new path could he save the Three Realms from ruin. He therefore issued a secret decree, asking three slumbering ancient gods to relinquish their divine ranks, seal their powers, and descend into the mortal world.

The three carried their shattered destinies into the world, seeking only to find the scattered descendants of the Human Emperor and reopen the ancient Register of Worthies, bringing the way of honoring the worthy to all under heaven. They would consider neither immortal nor mortal status nor rank of birth, but gather the worthy from across the land, mend the Heavenly Dao with the human heart, cleanse divine corruption with mortal fire, resist the Chaos Void Demons’ corruption, restore order to the Three Realms, and rediscover the righteous path to universal harmony.

The desolate mountains conceal opportunities, while the human heart reveals what is true and false. As rumors spread across the land, all beings slander the Dao, the gods block the way, and chaos invades the heavens, a grand undertaking to honor the worthy, spanning the realms of humans, gods, and demons, begins with a thunderous roar.
