1. Era and catastrophe: After Huaxia’s technological civilization reaches great heights, an unknown catastrophe strikes. Earth’s spiritual qi revival and an alien invasion happen at the same time. Humanity is reduced to the lowest rung of society, and only by awakening the fantastical beasts of the Classic of Mountains and Seas can people regain their dignity.
2. Native beasts and the law of the jungle: The plants and animals originally found on Earth absorb the frenzied spiritual qi and mutate wildly, evolving into “native beasts” that rule over ruins and wilderness. The beasts monopolize all high-grade cultivation resources, forcing beast tamers to venture into the dangerous wilderness and hunt them to “fight for their food,” obtaining cores and the essence of their flesh for cultivation.
3. The law of symbiosis, a life-and-death bond: Beast tamers and divine beasts of the Classic of Mountains and Seas are bound together in spirit, sharing life and death. If a divine beast falls, its tamer must die; if the tamer dies, the divine beast will also vanish. This means the protagonist must be extremely cautious, deeply devoted to those he cares about.
