Background Story
“The Sanctifier returns!”
For the good of all humanity, Ziya set out with his best friend, Fuzi, on the Journey of Divinity, and became the first of the Enforcers in the process. In the years that followed, he served as their secret leader, selecting new members at the superbeings' behest. But the good times did not last. To defeat the Dark Master, he sacrificed the greater part of his divine power, and later on, his willful nature led his disciple Wu Zetian to seal him away. However, during his captivity, he achieved enlightenment and recovered his divine power. Now, the Dark Master Diqun seeks to once more invade the mortal world. Hearing this, Ziya could not sit idly by. The ancient Sanctifier broke out of his imprisonment, determined to protect the world in his own way.
Skins
Character Relationships
The Superbeing creator of the world, Nuwa, and the great sage Ziya are like water and oil. The two have differing views of what it means to protect humanity, so hidden schemes are currently underway.
As the successor of a superbeing, Yang Jian had no choice but to submit to her will: to put an end to Ziya, the Sanctifier, in the Enforcers' War. Though undefeated, could he defeat an opponent that even Nuwa could not suppress? Had he misjudged his rival?
They were once great friends because of their unparalleled wisdom, but they had different beliefs, and decided to part ways after an argument.
Ziya had high hopes for his fantastically gifted disciple Liang. If Liang were willing, he could even become a Superbeing. What a pity it would be if the young man would not become Ziya's successor!
Consort Yu is an obedient and well-mannered disciple. She admires her teacher Ziya, the Augur Immemorial, so she follows his guidance and fights the feralis. She remains unaware, however, that her very existence is a trap that has been planted...
You would never guess it, but the fox-eared and furry-tailed Daji is actually a contraption Ziya created with machinery in order to handle King Zhou. He used sorcery to infuse her soul into it, then sent her to Zhaoge, where she became an enchanting killing machine.
In ancient times, in the era of the superbeings, the enforcer Ziya witnessed dragons roam the world. Today, he has returned with a new plan. To his surprise, dragons have reappeared in the world. Can this race that once protected all beings aid him in carrying out his plan?
