Becoming King

Between heaven and earth, within the universe, humanity is not alone.
Other races, civilizations, and exalted beings—once they appeared in this world, but as time flowed and eras shifted, they vanished without a trace, leaving only the faintest, most elusive signs of their existence.
Yet, did they truly depart? Did they truly disappear?
No!
For billions of years, they have gazed down upon us from the resplendent night sky above, and for countless millennia they have guarded us from deep within the earth’s core...
They have taken on myriad forms—perhaps your classmate, your neighbor, your friend... Perhaps, you yourself are one of them, simply awaiting the moment of awakening, when divine power will become your own.
In heaven and earth, throughout the cosmos, the Six Realms coexist: the Celestial, the Human, the Asura, the Beast, the Hungry Ghost, and the Demon.
Eons ago, the first great war of the Six Realms drove the Celestials far from the Milky Way, nearly wiped out humanity, and sealed the Asuras within the earth’s core for eternity...
Billions of years later, humanity on Earth faces endless calamities—tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions... Rumors even speak of the world’s end drawing near.
Is it true? Can it be changed?
