The World in Turmoil: An Actor Summoned to Slay Demons

As countless alien races invade, the Great Xia nation teeters on the brink of collapse. Humanity survives only because the demon clans have granted them permission to exist as vassals in a world now dominated by supernatural beings. Across the land, demons roam with impunity, and at Nanwu High School, an arrogant demon prodigy bullies Ji Huaiqiu’s younger sister into serving as his personal attendant just before the national college entrance exams. In this moment of desperation, Ji Huaiqiu awakens a mysterious Pear Garden Stage that allows him to perform legendary operas from the past and inherit their divine powers. Through iconic performances, he gains extraordinary abilities: playing "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" while intoxicated grants him the Strength of Taisui to tear beasts apart barehanded; enacting "Nezha Conquers the Sea" bestows Three Heads and Six Arms after slaying dragons and shattering palaces; performing "Havoc in Heaven" unlocks the Seventy-Two Transformations to overturn realms; and reciting "Laozi Departs the Pass" summons the ultimate art of One Qi Becomes Three Pure Ones, bringing light to humanity's darkest age. Clad in theatrical robes upon a three-foot stage, he can defeat ferocious demon tigers, stir the boundless seas, and protect the fragile peace of the mortal realm. Years later, as the great war between myriad races concludes and a celestial council convenes, Ji Huaiqiu takes his seat at the human delegation. With his spear pointed directly at the ancestors of immortals and demons, he speaks softly yet commands the silence of all present: "Among the five supreme ruling races, humanity shall hold its rightful place." He issues his final decree to the assembled powers: "Who supports this? Who opposes?"
