Rising to Greatness, One Book at a Time

In 2026, a blood moon hangs in the sky, and the world of mountains and seas descends. Strange beasts run rampant, and the apocalypse arrives without warning. Wang Ming, an ordinary college student, finds a blank, white-covered book at a secondhand bookstall, unaware that it is the lost source of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The book reveals the Zhuyu grass of Mount Zhaoyao, the Xingxing of Mount Zhaoyao, the nine-tailed fox of Qingqiu... Completing each page grants him an ancient power of the mountains and seas and lets him summon the soul of a primeval beast. From an ordinary man struggling to survive, he grows into a traveler of the mountains and seas, commanding the shadow of Zhulong and heeding the edicts of the Queen Mother of the West. Yet the white book is not only a source of power; it is also the key to a seal. When all the pages are gathered, the ultimate choice will come: seal the two worlds forever and return everything to normal, or become a bridge with his own body and forge a new era where humanity and the world of mountains and seas coexist? This is the epic tale of an ordinary man who, amid the ruins of a collapsing civilization, holds the fragmented Classic of Mountains and Seas and searches for a way forward for billions of living beings. When the ruins of Mount Buzhou reappear, he will take the name of the mountains and seas and reshape the world.
