In the Dajing Dynasty, demons were rampant, and the Demon Suppressing Department took it as its own duty to kill all the great demons in the world.
Shen Yan was born in a declining family, guarding half a torn volume of the "Wuzang Mountain Sutra", and was just a small county official.
Until fires broke out in the county town for several days, the Demon Suppression Department concluded that the fire demon was causing trouble and wanted to burn the mountain to destroy the demon.
Shen Yan touched the charred wood, and a faint light appeared on his fingertips, and he glimpsed the truth that had been sleeping in the flames for thousands of years——
That was not a harmful fire demon at all, but the ancient Bi Fang bird that guarded the sacred tree. It guarded an unknown ancient tomb and refused to leave for thousands of years!
Everyone in the world knows that monsters are cruel, but only Shen Yan knows that every monster hunted by the world has a tragic legend buried by time.
The nine-tailed fox is not a charming monster, but the last guardian of the Tushan clan's tomb;
Taotie is not a gluttonous beast, but the remnant soul of the ancient god of war who was cursed by heaven;
Xingtian is still dancing without a head. What he is guarding is not the battlefield, but a promise that has not been fulfilled!
Others kill monsters when they see them. He traces the traces to their origins, resolves thousand-year grudges, establishes a pact with his heart, and accepts all monsters as his friends.
When the Demon Suppressing Division's army pressed upon the territory, the Taoist sect accused him of channeling demons and treason, and the gods above the nine heavens wanted to completely obliterate him.
Shen Yan opened the completed scroll of mountains and seas. Behind him, all the monsters in the wilderness roared, and the gods and demons retreated!
"The ancient sages of the human race wrote the Classic of Mountains and Seas in order to remember all the beasts and understand the world, not to let you and others drive them to extinction."
"Today, I, Shen Yan, will rectify the names of all the monsters in this world!"
