The Crimson World.
It had been a very long time since Cain had last set foot in it.
The universe was unique in its form. Rather than existing as an endless expanse of stars, it possessed the structure of a colossal tower composed of nine great realms stacked upon one another. As one ascended through those realms, the laws governing reality grew stronger, the energy density increased, and destiny itself became more tangible and profound.
Over the last two centuries, the Crimson World had endured one of the greatest cataclysms in its history since the Great War more than 3 billion years ago.
The forces of the Freedom Path, led by the Ancient One and his Neo-Angels, had clashed against the forces of the Life Path under the command of the Demon King and his True Depravitas. The conflict had spread across all nine realms, engulfing the entire universe in bloodshed and destruction.
Countless civilizations were drawn into the war.
Entire continents were reduced to ruins.
