A black sun hangs in the sky, ghostly fog swallows cities, and a crisis of mutated beasts tears the world apart. Amid this apocalyptic disaster, Jiang Che, a veterinarian, becomes the world's most unusual “monster.”
One rainy night, the leader of the coexistence faction places a dying black kitten in his arms. At death's door, their genes accidentally fuse. Jiang Che awakens the claws of a spirit cat with his bare hands and instantly kills the bloodthirsty beast that smashes through his window! He becomes the only “humanoid monster” in the world who can fuse with the genes of any beast without side effects.
The extremists hunt down mutated beasts everywhere. They even slander his late parents as “traitors to humanity,” hoping to launch the world-ending “Mother Nest” plan! Determined to clear his family's name, Jiang Che finally snaps! He fuses nine sets of genes, including those of a burrowing beast, a lightning beast, and a flying leopard, transforming into the ultimate Qilin form. He unleashes a storm surge and destroys the Mother Nest with a single strike!
But the truth is the greatest shock of all. The so-called ghostly fog is the fragmented dream of an ancient being, and the rampaging beasts are no more than fragments of that dream! The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a projection of another world, while a mysterious force secretly manipulates events, seeking to shatter the balance between the two realms.
With the Dream God jade pendant in hand, Jiang Che stands at the summit of fate. On one side lies the homeland where humans and beasts coexist, which he has fought so hard to protect; on the other is the horrifying truth behind his parents' disappearance.
When the ancient beings of the dream world awaken completely, who will be the true god?
