"Have you heard of the legend?" A granny starts with her grandchild in her lap



Once upon a time in a land enveloped by snow,a land unvisited by the sun where even a fraction of fire could not exist

There lived a tyrant



A ghost king,who emerged victorious from fighting over thousands and thousands of ghosts in one go


And on the day the divine heaven regarded as the one day the sun shines the brightest,what should've been bright and warm,became dark and cold,for it is also that day that the tyrant emerged victorious claiming the title Ghost king,the 5th of the heavenly calamity,the heaven shook for 6 incense time that day




"What does the ghost king look like granny?"the grandchild ask innocence burning in his eyes as it sparkled,so his grandmother says




They say he is like ice,skin so pale he looked like a dead body pulled from the depth of ocean,hair frosty white that almost came down to hide his eyes,and his eyes......one look at his eyes and you accept you fate,for his eyes screamed death,a sorrowful mourn of the dead,as if his eyes contains death itself

Oh!and people says he has holes on his face too

"Really granny? that's not true right?"


"Who knows?but it's time for you to go to bed now,or else he will come"His granny tickles his toes, giggle bursting out

"B-but granny, you've never told me his name"


No one knows his name actually,but since his story came and reached the farthest of land,he was known to be called "Graceful white death",for the chilling breeze and the freezing cold announced his presence,

And it is said even the sun would freeze in fear of him

Where Spider Lilies Bloom

This is a tale of 2 loving souls,a tale of the clash between fates and gods

A tale of a certain young god who shines with the sun

And of the most dangerous ghost who wish to cover the world and every realm in an endless storm of winter

But before we begin,let me take you through a quick recap,and the tale will continue...

As today,the jade emperor,the most supreme deity of the heavenly court has announced that it would be the day the sun shone the brightest in centuries

Civil gods stayed up for days completing every task, finalizing every papers so they could relax out in the open,by the river of eternity

And even martial gods shed their armour of gold and purest of jade just for this day

For such a day will surely be historic

But that day,when the sun should be of utmost importance two unexpected and foreboding event happens

In the noon where the sun should be at its highest and the world bright

As if a storm huge enough to cover every inch of the earth suddenly comes

And among the darkness came a force that shook the heaven

7 times it came,like earthquake of such magnitude that the heavenly realm felt it's force heavily

Destroying palaces of officials and even the emperors recidence

But what unnerved them the most is the chilling air that came with it,so cold that it froze the upmost layer of the river of eternity

And among tha chaos,all officials of heaven were summoned by the Jade emperor to the court of heaven

The halls of the court are wide and grand,where every corners are adorned by the most beautiful of decorum

And at the centre sat a throne,where the emperor sits

"His highness,what could this mean?"the civil gods asked,their eyes wide with questions burning in

And the news of a new ghost king shook the heaven for the 8th time, adding more chaos to the already

Ghost kings are notorious for the power and influence they hold,even one ghost king is already bad news for the gods but now the 5th one is born,and what's even alarming is that,the darkness that came with his arrival,that is proof of how powerful he is

The martial gods are proud,but they too think that this one has even more potential to become the most powerful being

They could only hope that he does not cause trouble

But alas all their hope is crushed as his name burned like a wild fire through the land,and to top it all off he is famous for never sparing even a single soul wherever he steps

People described him as a handsome young man,skin as pale as snow,with hair just as white,his colourless features is adorned with 3 moles around his nose and his eyes contain endless longingness

People feared him and through this fear brought admiration so he received so many worshippers of ghost but also even among the humans countless worshipped him, however he does not even spare his own worshippers

Some fanatics believe that to be killed by him is peaceful,and merciful that whoever faced his judgement would be spared of the punishment that is life so as time passed people now in turn waits for him to kill them

The second event is,during the chaos the heaven is in

Through the sky covered with darkness,came a small twinkling of sunlight

And that small twinkling became more and more wider, consuming the darkness near, illuminating the world

That day the heaven shook once more,this time too for 7 times

And on the 7th,from the sky falls a person dressed in white

Spiritual halo emanating from his body,a shine of warmed golden

He is a personification of sunlight itself,with warmth that could melt even the hardest of ice

And this time, instead of hiding and cowering the heaven rejoiced, forgetting the chaos before
