Calamity Mountain

"If people cannot fight against fate, is cherishing what they have all they can do?"

"If the gods control people's fate, then who controls the fate of the gods?"

"Must each person bear the burden of the world's collective karma?"

Legend says that beyond the Three Realms lies another realm called the Guiding Realm. Its origins can be traced to a past too painful to look back on.

Chu Jiu is a girl chosen by the Fushan Clan of the Guiding Realm to be sacrificed to the Mountain God. From childhood, she is kept in an attic by a witch, waiting for the day of her sacrifice. But through a twist of fate, she and Bai Long, a retired God of War and an unemployed Mountain God, embark on a journey to save all living beings.

The laughter and tears along the way help Chu Jiu, who has never known the ways of the world, gradually grow up. She stops clinging to partings and deaths, learns to accept all that fate has arranged, and comes to understand the true meaning of life. Influenced by Chu Jiu, Bai Long, who possesses the souls of a human, a god, and a demon, no longer sees all things in the world, including humans, gods, and demons, as empty and unreal. He also stops challenging the invisible hand that manipulates the fate of the gods. He begins to empathize with humanity, falls in love with humans, and learns to understand their confusion and pain. He no longer sees them as fleeting phantoms in an endless cycle of reincarnation.

The heavy truth of the Guiding Realm's past is finally revealed, and the cycle of cause and effect begins anew. Will humanity, trapped by its own actions, perish along with the world's collective karma and begin another cycle, or will the gods take pity and save the world once more?

When Bai Long, who lives as long as heaven and earth, falls in love with Chu Jiu, whose life lasts only a brief moment, what path can he take?

Perhaps, in the web of fate woven from cause and effect, the ending was decided long ago...
