The game unfolds through two intertwined narratives:
Lin Youyue embarks on a mythical journey through a world of gods and mortals, crossing paths with legendary figures such as Nezha, Yang Jian, and Lei Zhenzi. She will witness both the wonders and cruelties of this vast world.
Luo Wenhao delves deeper into the machinations and execution of the “Conferring Gods” plan, navigating intricate power struggles between factions while bearing the weight of destiny and conspiracy.
In the primordial lands reshaped by the Great War of the Gods, realms overlap, and trade routes—both maritime and aerial—span the Four Seas and Eight Wastes. Giant mystic turtles carry ships across the seas, while wind-riding sky vessels connect the powers of this new era. Though immortals can traverse vast distances on beams of light or magical artifacts, the cost in spirit stones is prohibitive, so merchants largely prefer the safer and more affordable sea routes. As disciples of the Dao, you may soar above the Nine Providences, exploring celestial abodes like Golden Turtle Island, or delve into the ruins of the fallen Shang Dynasty and the ancient tombs of Emperor Xuanyuan to seek treasures and vanquish evils. Every choice you make in this vast world will shape your path to divine ascension.
As the corrupt Shang Dynasty falls, a Demon Sovereign descends, overturning the natural order. The Great Tribulation of the Gods has begun—heroes rise from all corners of the world: stalwart generals from Xiqi in mystic armor, shadow-walking assassins versed in遁术 (escape arts), ethereal fairy maidens who dance with deadly grace… Over forty destined characters emerge to face their fate. Forge bonds, survive calamities, and alter the course of the divine plan. Uncover their stories, nurture their potential, and guide them to eternal divinity upon the Conferring Gods List.
Building upon the foundation of previous battle systems, this installment breaks the constraints of chessboard-style combat, expanding the battlefield into an immersive, boundless celestial realm. Now, you may command divine cavalry, artifact-wielding archers, and mystic spellcasters as you charge across the battlefields of the divine tribulation! Utilize clever combinations of divine abilities and tactical formations to purge evil, break through the Shang’s deadly arrays, and carve your path to glory.
Answering the call of karmic fate, this game features 60 main-story stages of heavenly tribulation, supplemented by multiple volumes of destiny-driven side stories. Each stage exists as a unique realm filled with hidden mysteries: breaking formation and eliminating demons in the secrets of Kunlun, holding firm in night battles amid the stormy streets of Zhaoge, enduring soul-chilling cold to confront frost demons on the Northern Plains, courageously breaking evil formations within molten lava abysses, or outwitting enemy generals in the soul-devouring deserts of the Western Wastes. Every battlefield integrates the laws of heaven and earth and the interplay of the Five Elements, testing your wisdom in tactical positioning, divine artifact control, and timing of supernatural abilities. Only by mastering time, terrain, and the myriad arts of combat can you hope to emerge victorious from this celestial tribulation!
