In the Universe of the Four Gods, which resembles ancient China, four countries are watched over by four different guardian animal gods. Only a priestess from another world has the power to summon a god to save the countries in the Universe of the Four Gods. Priestesses are watched over by a group of seven celestial warriors, who are always marked by a unique Kanji (Chinese character) that relates to the sign they are connected to in the Chinese Zodiac.
