While exploring the Arctic, historian Xuan Hu accidentally fell into an ice crevasse and activated the core of an ancient flame, the “White Stone,” transmigrating to a primitive world filled with totems. His soul inhabits the young chieftain of the Rhino Horn Tribe, where he awakens the “Gourd Totem,” which can tame giant beasts, cleanse calamities, and contain the energy of the flame. To gather the scattered fragments of the flame and lead his people across impassable barriers back to their homeland, Xuan Hu uses modern knowledge to unravel the mysteries of shamanism and tame monstrous beasts transformed by disaster. Amid the collision of the savage wilderness and civilization, he writes an epic tale of tribal revival spanning time and space.
