In the beginning, there were three sanctuaries: the World Gate, the Ice Gate and the Crystal Gate. Each has their own specialty in wielding the powers of the universe. A fourth heaven reveals itself from another time, wielding even more power than the three heavens combined. Lacking the necessary power to remake the world on his own, he travels back in time in search of a shard that will increase his powers immensely and help him remake the world into a better place for his kind. But in his blind pursuit for a better world, he fails to grasp the reality of what he sets out to do and ends up thrusting their world into chaos, unleashing those who seek the demise of their world. The first in the series, it's a fast-paced and action-packed adult sci-fi fantasy filled with multiple characters that spans a long timeline.
