Main premise: The novel is set in a world inspired by The Classic of Mountains and Seas, divided into four realms: the Human Realm, where people live; the Beast Domain, home to the ferocious creatures of The Classic of Mountains and Seas; the Ghost Realm, where people go after death or after willingly abandoning their bodies; and the Divine Realm, where the gods live. The four realms are connected by passageways, allowing free travel between them. Because of their opposing natures, the Divine Realm and the Ghost Realm are somewhat hostile toward each other. Ordinary humans can cultivate diligently and ascend to become immortals, or become the strongest in the Human Realm. The Divine Realm's ranks, from lowest to highest, are Immortal, High Immortal, High God, True God, Divine Lord, Heavenly God, and Supreme God. The Ghost Realm's ranks, from lowest to highest, are Ghost Spirit, Evil Ghost, Fierce Ghost, Cold Ghost, Rakshasa, Nether Immortal, Nether God, Nether Lord, Nether Heavenly God, and Nether Emperor. The Beast Domain has a similar ranking system. Each of the four realms has its own nations and clans, and while pure bloodlines are prized, ordinary bloodlines exist too. The strongest in the Human Realm is the Human Emperor, in the Ghost Realm the Nether Emperor, in the Divine Realm the Supreme God, and in the Beast Domain the King of All Beasts. Once they reach a certain level, beasts in the Beast Domain can take human form and freely switch between human and beast forms. Ghosts in the Ghost Realm generally look just like ordinary humans from the Human Realm. Each of the four realms has its own unique cultivation methods, techniques, and combat skills. These are ranked from lowest to highest as Mortal, Human, Earth, and Heaven, with each rank further divided into low, middle, and high levels. This continent is called the Mountain and Sea Continent. The novel follows a modern-day overworked office drone stuck in a 996 work schedule who transmigrates to the Mountain and Sea Continent and gradually grows into the strongest being across all four realms.
