Jing Tian Ji

Jing Tian Ji is a solo-made game with a nonlinear story that you explore for yourself. It is set on Pangu Continent, a world shaped by ancient gods, competing powers and the aftermath of wars between gods and demons.

A world shaped by conflict

At the beginning of the universe, the ancient gods created new gods to bring order to a chaotic cosmos. As new gods and their descendants spread life and civilization, some ancient gods came to believe that this growth was adding to the disorder. Conflict between them led to war, and the mingling of their hatred with dark matter gave rise to demons that threatened to destroy the world. Ancient gods and new gods joined forces against them, and many perished in the struggle.

Humanity is a third-generation life form: physically weak but highly intelligent. Humans learned to cultivate spiritual energy, called qi, and developed many paths of cultivation and fields of work. They have fought other species for survival, while also forming alliances with those who respect them or depend on them. Their societies are divided among countless sects, states and factions, and internal conflicts have often led to war.

The Pangu Continent

Pangu Continent, on the planet Azure Star, is the surviving remnant of the solar system’s ancient world. After wars between gods and demons devastated the system, the continent remained inhabited, but spatial rifts let qi escape and disrupted time and space. These anomalies created overlapping realms and made it impossible for anyone to reach the realm of ascension.

The Lingxiao Pavilion led a centuries-long effort to develop new paths that could replenish qi and close the rifts. Near the end of this campaign, some rifts overlapped with the demons’ territory, allowing them to invade. The Pavilion fought them off but collapsed in the process. The remaining sects then fought over power and qi-rich lands; eventually, a capable ruler united the continent, but the nation later became corrupt as the demons began to stir again. This age is known as the Jingtian Era.
