In ancient times, before Heaven and Earth had taken shape, gods and demons coexisted in a world full of mystery and wonder. Luo Li, a young apprentice wizard of distinguished birth, is swept into a cataclysm when a spirit stone guarded by his family begins to stir. Its strange movements awaken Taotie, an ancient demon god who has slumbered for ages, putting the world's peace in grave peril. To uncover the truth behind the stone's disturbance, Luo Li sets out on an adventure to seek the mythical beasts and divine ruins recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Along this perilous road, he joins forces with the brave Kua Ren, the mysterious nine-tailed fox Bai Ling, and Feng Miao, a powerful incarnation of Kunpeng. Together, the four face the threats of all kinds of monsters. As the journey deepens, Luo Li must find the essence of the Five Elements' spiritual power to restart the divine seal, while confronting the conflicts and choices within himself. He gradually uncovers his family's secrets and learns that he carries the power of Heaven's mandate, making him the key to saving the world. Yet the shadow of the demon god's revival draws ever closer, and Luo Li must find his own path between justice and family, duty and desire.
