Features: This is a grand epic novel by the renowned Japanese author Yasushi Tanaka, inspired by Chinese mythology and set in modern Japan. Three thousand years ago, the heavens were divided into two factions: the Dragon Clan and the Ox Clan. The leader of the Ox Clan, Chiyou, caused chaos in the human world, so the Jade Emperor sent four dragon brothers—Aoguang, Aoshao, Aorun, and Aoyan—to subdue Chiyou. After three thousand years of slumber, the Dragon Clan awoke once again. The modern reincarnations of the four dragon brothers are the four sons of the Longtang family: Shi, Xu, Zhong, and Yu. Possessing superpowers, they wander between the realms of humans and dragons, refusing to submit to demons who seek to seize their strength and rule the world. Thus, four handsome young men—four radiant dragons—roam the skies of modern cities, and a series of unimaginably grand scenes unfold.
The work is deeply imbued with Chinese cultural influences, featuring figures such as the Dragon, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, and Yao Ji in various forms. It is rich in fantasy, blending wondrous imagination with historical events. The four brilliant dragons and their divine powers are like dreams, greatly satisfying readers' reverence for strength, nature, and the supernatural. At the same time, the story weaves through time and space, alternating between modern and ancient scenes, allowing readers to wander between bustling cities and primordial lands, learning about history and characters in a joyful way and gaining a sense of magical aesthetic pleasure.
This volume returns to the main storyline: the four brothers spend a week peacefully in an autonomous region in the United States, only to have their tranquility disrupted by the renewed assault of the four sisters. Meanwhile, Moli and others encounter the high-ranking members of the four sisters—Lamber Clark—in the U.S. They discover that the four sisters are about to implement the "Blood-Stained Dream" plan—a scheme to destroy the lives of five billion people on Earth! Soon after, Lamber takes Moli hostage amidst the chaos, and the Longtang-Moli alliance unexpectedly receives help from a local Chinese immigrant, the Huang Elder. The Huang Elder hopes the four brothers will go to China to investigate the truth. Determined to uncover the truth, the four brothers decide to leave immediately for Longquan Village, the ancestral homeland of their ancestors. What awaits them?
