At first, there was only the Otherworld; there was no present-day world.
The Otherworld was divided among rival powers. They fought for control of the Central Plains, but no one ever unified them.
Tired of endless warfare, the leader of the human race in the Otherworld created the present-day world using a cultivation technique he invented himself.
He was Pangu.
After creating the world, Pangu left behind a cultivation technique written across seven pages. Countless generations fought over them.
When clues to the whereabouts of the most crucial first page emerged in the present-day world,
the winner was supposed to be decided at an auction.
But the “Qin Bamboo Slips” bearing those clues
were stolen.
The most powerful families in the present-day world were furious.
Qin Mo was lucky enough to attend the auction,
but after watching too many short videos, he mistakenly showed up wearing slippers.
And so began his fantastical adventure.
