A century ago, after a great war among the gods, the Moon God's followers, the Vita clan, were cursed by the God of Light and imprisoned forever beneath the sunless Demonroot Forest. Using a Thorn Fruit he obtained through his own cleverness, protagonist Xing Quge escapes this dark land, only to find that the new world awaiting him is just as strange and sinister. With help from a winery owner of unknown identity and a corpse walker, Xing Quge stumbles into the Theological Academy in the holy city of Tasi. His meager divine power and suspicious identity stir up trouble in his campus life. Forced to investigate cases at the behest of the Crimson Palace inspector, Xing Quge is inexplicably caught up in a fierce struggle between the Divine Assembly and the academy. Schemes and conspiracies abound, leaving his life hanging in the balance. Meanwhile, his teammates, originally members of different factions, gradually shed the labels of their affiliations as events escalate, each pursuing their own interests and turning against one another. The forces behind the academy begin to emerge, but a shadowy power is rapidly infiltrating from the darkness. It sabotages the academy's grand plan to cooperate with the ruler while splitting the Divine Assembly's forces. The key figure behind it is none other than an old acquaintance of Xing Quge's. As he delves deeper into the events, the truth behind the ancient war among the gods comes to light. He is not only a fugitive, but also a god who has lost his divinity. Will he become fully human, or become a god once more? Xing Quge finds his answer after meeting the legendary Moon God.
