Six Paths Return to Origin

In the spiritually barren Qixia Village, a boy raised by a peasant couple doesn't know that five powers—Heavenly Path, Human Path, Animal Path, Hungry Ghost Path, and Hell Path—sleep within him. Nor does he know he is the chosen vessel to oppose the 'Western Gods.' The kindest village elder turns into a soulless monster overnight, grabbing Cangli by the neck before releasing him with tears. 'You are the brightest star in the sky.' Later, a goddess calling herself Venus descends with golden wings and a gentle smile, offering blessings to the barren land. Cangli's foster mother begs her, 'Please save my child...' The goddess smiles, her greed like a starving wolf. 'Give him to me. I will take him away.' That night, Qixia Village is bloodwashed. Cangli watches as all his loved ones become monsters and dissolve into pools of blood. His consciousness is invaded, about to be possessed—until five stone pillars light up in the darkness, and five voices speak in unison: 'You've finally come, Venus.' This is the final battle between the Eastern Six Paths and the Western Gods. And Cangli is the battlefield, the pawn, and the only hope. If you one day discover that your very existence is a disaster—would you still choose to live?
