Summary
✧ The Greater World ✧
Four vast Levels stretch beneath the Opal Palace: Sky, Sea, Earth, and the Under-Serpent. Gods keep their thrones, mortals burn their lives, and dragons sleep so the world does not tear apart.
But prophecies are never what they seem. One speaks of a mortal who shall draw the blood of a god-child — mistranslated into murder, warped by boasting tongues. Another whispers that even the highest throne may be stormed, though never toppled.
Here begin the lives of four:
— Ant, a monkey child beaten, nameless, who refuses both god and mortal love.
— Yībe, a human boy lit with the fire of Ī, ambitious enough to touch heaven.
— A Yibî, twisted in Sanzi’s belly, writing letters in the dark to no one at all.
— Sishī, a tidepool goddess, restless, daring to imagine change.Their stories thread through prophecy and lie, rebellion and submission, each believing they hold the heart of fate — yet against the vast breathing of the Greater World, even the mightiest lives may be only dust.
This is the tale of mortals storming heaven, of gods bleeding, of prophecies both false and true — and of Ki, who smiles as the order endures.
