A “Three Goes to the Countryside” social-practice trip from Qingbei University sends a group of top students straight into another world from the Classic of Mountains and Seas!
One day on Earth equals one month in the other world, giving them plenty of time to explore.
But everything in this world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is far stranger and more dangerous than the ancient texts described.
After stumbling into the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Qingbei prodigies discover that their academic expertise has become “origin abilities”!
A physics prodigy uses Newton’s laws to analyze the trajectories of ferocious beasts, while a biology goddess uses genetic analysis to concoct miraculous medicines.
A handsome folklorist uses song and dance to avert a tribal crisis. A talented history student can touch the earth and trace the memories of mountains and rivers.
And a money-loving finance student strikes a “strategic partnership” with a mountain god using a packet of spicy strips...
These skills are their means of survival, but their true hope and despair rest on the “Token of Return” on their wrists, which is steadily growing dimmer.
Its light is their last connection to the real world. Once it goes out, their souls will be trapped in this realm forever.
Purifying corrupted divine beasts, repairing the origin of the ley lines... Every adventure charges the token and buys them more time to get home.
But as friendship, sacrifice, and growth intertwine in desperate circumstances, the distorted myths reveal a heartbreaking truth.
As their bonds with the other world grow deeper, what choice will they make?
The call of home or their ties to the other world: which is their true path back?
And what ultimate price will that journey demand, a price they least want to face...?
