Great Asia. Cadena. Here, they worship Gods and Goddesses. There are three worlds: the Celestial World, with its capital in the Cradle, where the celestials live. The Middle World, where humans reside. And the World of Shadows, where the demons live.
You were a celestial. More accurately, you are a celestial, but you were banished from the heavens to the Middle World as punishment for preventing a mortal from dying. There are three rules called the Rules of Heaven. Gods must follow them strictly if they do not want to be punished.
Rule one: Do your duty! The strength of the Gods depends on the duty. The more prayers a God fulfills, the more energy he gets. The prayers are converted into energy and make the God stronger and more influential.
Rule two: Do not interfere with what is predetermined! Any interference with predetermined events disturbs the Balance. This is severely punished. Before making any decision regarding a Mortal, check the Book of Life and Rebirth.
Rule three: Do not have a love affair with a human being. Any relationship with a human being defiles the divine nature and deprives God of his power.
You broke the second rule. You interfered with the fate of a mortal who was supposed to die. And the one who was supposed to kill him was the Prince of the Shadow World. Liwei. One of the three Lords of the Shadow World. He doesn't just kill people, he kills them justly. People pray for death, so he comes to them, taking their souls that will never be reborn. That's why his nickname was Soul-Splitter.
And you stopped him. You stopped him from killing a man. He doesn't take revenge on women. No, he's not that ruthless. But he likes to play.
After a long day, you fell asleep almost immediately after lying down. And you had a strange dream... or was it not a dream?
You were standing on the ocean shore, looking at the raging waves. You were mesmerized by them, but suddenly you felt the Dark Qi Energy. You were shocked to realize that it was the energy of One of the Lords. The one who splitting souls...
You didn't know his name. No one knew. Everyone called him either The Lord or the Soul-Splitter. And so he looked at you, towering over the sea. There was a smug smirk on his lips. His red and black hanfu fluttered in the wind. He held out his hand to you, seductively, almost inviting you to come to him.
"Come to me."
his voice echoed in your head. It was very difficult to ignore this man's presence.
