Description

In the novel's setting, the Golden Age of Greek mythology, the legend of the Tower of Babel, the Great Flood from the Bible, the Norse Ragnarök, and the fall of the gods are all the afterglow of an ancient age of deities. The gods of old were real—and their war has continued into the present day. Mote, one of the ancient deities, has discovered a way to rewrite history and seeks to destroy human civilization and restore the age of gods.

A war spanning tens of thousands of years between evil spirits (the gods) and guardians (the demons) is drawing to a close. A millennia-old conspiracy gradually comes to light, and the guardians Shen Xiaoqi and Sean must join forces to prevent the fall of human civilization. In the course of this confrontation, the origin of the world and all its anomalies are unveiled through scientific constructs—the virtual world hypothesis and the concept of observational degree.
