Xiao Ling Meets Li Ximing

His central purpose is to break divine control over the Three Realms, end the world's curse and uncover the truth behind its food chain.

He teaches Xiao Ling musical discipline and the Four Symbols Armor, leaving behind the notes that preserve their lineage.

Caught between debt, spiritual power and reincarnation, Xiao Ling follows the truth of the Three Realms. Ai Li searches for a way through the law; a mentor's legacy and a spirit-beast bond lead him toward an older order in which gods feed on beasts and beasts on humanity. If the chain can be reversed, who pays the price?
