Why are they called “Pseudo-Gods”?
In this universe, true “gods” exist in a higher dimension.
Humans can neither reach nor comprehend beings of that level.
Just as ants can never perceive the existence of humans,
yet humans can easily observe and even interfere with the world of ants.
If gods and humans can never intersect, then there can be no story.
So, what are “Pseudo-Gods”?
Pseudo-Gods are those who have yet to let go of their obsessions and humanity,
yet already possess a fraction of divine power.
They exist between “human” and “god”—
neither mortal, nor truly divine.

Story Overview:
A group of beings who have yet to become true gods formed a self-governed order within the Underworld to protect the balance between Yin and Yang.
They are—
Zhong Kui, Meng Po, Dizang, Black and White Impermanence, and the Five Spirits.
Moving between the realms of life and death, they maintain the cycle of reincarnation and prevent the world from collapsing into chaos.
But one day, something went wrong.
Someone breached their protection—
causing humans in the living world to suddenly regain memories of their past lives.
Fear, obsession, hatred… all erupted at once.
The human world descended into unprecedented chaos.
The Pseudo-Gods rushed to contain the crisis while searching for the truth behind it.
But as the truth slowly emerged, they realized—
This was no accident…
