Chen Ju, an expert on modern military history, accidentally traveled to a different world where "spiritual pets" were respected. In an era when force was supreme, military strategy was regarded as a byword.
A serious injury caused him to accidentally awaken a strange "picture of famous Chinese generals" deep in the sea of consciousness. Sleeping in the picture are the immortal "general souls" of famous generals from past dynasties. He doesn't need spiritual pets, because what he will summon are military spirits named "Bai Qi", "Han Xin", and "Yue Fei"; what he practices is not ordinary skills, but the "God Refining Formation" that uses the heaven and earth as the furnace and the army as the guide.
While everyone in the world is pursuing personal greatness, Chen Ju is quietly setting up his formation. His formation uses mountains and rivers as the disk, the art of war as the principle, and the general's soul as the eye. He used formation techniques to refine elixirs and cleanse the marrow of his soldiers; he incorporated spiritual pets into military formations, uniting humans and beasts, and their combat power skyrocketed.
In this era that only believes in personal force, he will use China's five thousand years of strategy to become a saint with "formation" and open an unprecedented path of "formation and god refining".
