The heavens and earth endure, and the divine sword of the Luo River remains. The years roll on, and the Panlong Seal holds fast. As primordial chaos split open, the three races came into being. Resentment gathered and transformed into demons. The four realms stood together for a thousand years, until calamity began on the banks of the Blackwater.
For centuries, the human, demon, divine, and monster realms coexisted. Gradually, the human realm grew dissatisfied with the status quo. Over the centuries, it had quietly forged alliances with some demons and monsters, preparing to destroy the demon and divine realms, along with most of the monsters, and rebuild the world as a two-part order led by humans and supported by monsters. When Fan Zhonghua, the Divine Realm’s Left Historian of Moonlight, discovers a crisis on the banks of the Luo River, he begins investigating and uncovers the danger, the schemes of the human realm, human greed, and repeated betrayals. In the end, he joins forces with the other realms to avert disaster, eliminate the corrupt, and find a way for all four realms to coexist.
