(Maoshan magic, supernatural powers, wasteland laws, alternate world)
As technology explodes forward, a "prophet" who transmigrated from the future warns humanity to prepare its defenses.
But what are they supposed to defend against?
People are always afraid of the unknown. At first, the nations of the world refuse to believe him, but when a strange virus from an ancient creature begins spreading across the globe, they have no choice but to accept the truth.
The nations take the simple, brutal, and cost-effective approach to dealing with the ancient virus: nuclear explosions!
The frequent explosions trigger tectonic activity, awakening countless zhiguai that have slumbered since ancient times. To deal with them, the national archaeology department teams up with a newly established agency called the Zhiguai Research Bureau to handle these strange beings from the era of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Meanwhile, following the prophet's advice, the nation launches the "Space Migration Plan" and establishes a space agency. It also works with the Four Great Daoist Sects, using the technology currently at its disposal to study things that cannot be spoken of, in hopes of delaying the ancient virus's attacks and spread.
Talking fish, mice that can commune with spirits, ghosts that live forever, insects that eat nothing but fat, and a horde of creatures that infect you when they bite...
And just then, by pure coincidence, the energy of a divine sovereign's godhead called Xianqi, from an advanced cosmic civilization, arrives on Blue Star. Xianqi's divine power lets its wielder make words reality, but it also comes with a host of fatal drawbacks.
The main cast: Wei Xun, a bright young Taoist; Zhuanzhu, an immortal ghost from the Western Ridges; and Anna, a mysterious boxing queen. The three meet by chance.
