Mortal Defies the Heavens

In the Great Jing world, the Heavenly Dao is orderly, with cycles of calamities. People firmly believe that natural disasters are divine punishment and suffering is karmic retribution; only by kneeling, offering sacrifices, and obeying the heavens can they survive. The immortal sects reside in secluded mountain caves, controlling orthodox spiritual energy, teaching the 'Way of Obeying Heaven' to the masses, coldly watching the lower-class mortals die generation after generation from disasters, famines, and demonic plagues, treating mortal lives as predetermined sacrifices for the balance of heaven and earth. This is a story of how mortals shake the Heavenly Dao, slay immortals, defeat gods, and move the universe with martial power.
