When the sacred Lamp of Samsara died out, Mahasthamaprapta, the Lamp Guardian, was betrayed by Spirit Mountain. He uncovered a cruel truth: he was created only as a backup wick.
Cornered by Buddhist demands for his sacrifice and demonic offers of alliance, he was hunted by every faction across the Three Realms.
A mortal herbal girl named Lianyi reignited his lost conscience. Rebelling against all fates, the fallen guardian ended the cosmic crisis, claimed the lamp, and took command of his own life.
