Invoking the Gods: The Last Nuo Dancer of Great Xia

Shen Jin is the last Nuo ritual dancer of Great Xia. His altar lies in ruins, and his lineage is all but extinct. He has long accepted that this ancient art will fade into oblivion—until the world changes. Old nightmares become reality, forbidden entities breach the borders, and the fate of the nation hangs by a thread. At that critical moment, Shen Jin binds with the "Nuo Mask Check-In System." In a haunted mansion, he dons the "Zhong Kui Demon-Subduing Mask." As his Nuo dance unfolds, all evil recoils—and on the Global National Fortune Rankings, Great Xia's name blazes to life. In a cursed ancient tomb, he signs in and receives the "Meng Po Soul-Guiding Mask," opening the Yellow Springs road to restore order to the dead. In a wailing ghost school, he invokes the "Confucius Civilizing Mask," and with poetry, rites, and music, he scatters the demons. When the "Fengdu Gate"—a forbidden zone that the entire nation's might could not close—thunders open, despair blankets the land. Shen Jin, alone with his masks, steps into the ghost gate. Under global live broadcast, before billions of spectral soldiers, he dances, with towering phantom deities manifesting behind him. His ancient chant pierces the heavens: "Invoke—the—Gods!" In that moment, the world finally understands the depth of Great Xia's heritage. With the most primal Nuo, he summons the most formidable gods, quells the fiercest ghosts, and guards his homeland forever. The last Nuo dancer—mask as armor, dance as sword—carries his nation through the apocalypse.
