On the night of the Jingzhe of 2023, phantoms of strange beasts from the mountains and seas suddenly appeared in many places around the world, and mysterious cracks opened on the top of Kunlun Mountain. Archaeologist Lu Chen discovered a bronze sacred tree engraved with "Mountains and Seas" at the Sanxingdui site. Touching it instantly awakens the "bloodline of the candle dragon". The left eye can penetrate yin and yang, and the right eye can reverse life and death.
With the mysterious resurgence, the remnant soul of the ancient ancestral shaman is resurrected through the corpse, and the "Four Evil Formations" recorded in the "Book of Mountains and Seas" appear in the world, triggering global disasters: the nine shades of the candle cover the sun, the venom of the willow pollutes the ocean, the gluttony devours the city, and Qiongqi creates war. Lu Chen united with modern superpowers, Taoist Quanzhen sect, Miao poison descendants and other forces to start the "Spirit Hunting Division" to fight against the strange disaster.
While deciphering the secret of the Bronze Sacred Tree, Lu Chen discovered that he was actually the reincarnation of the "Ancestral Witch Houtu", and that the Jiuli Evil God sealed when the Yellow Emperor fought against Chi You was about to break the seal. He must collect the three volumes of "Mountains and Seas" of "Heaven, Earth and Man" within three years, recast the evil array of gods in the twelve capitals, and at the same time reveal the shocking connection between modern civilization and ancient myths.
