After dying in a car accident, Gu Z Jun’s soul transmigrated to the Primordial World. He lived through the Dragon-Han War, the War of the Lich Tribes, and the Investiture of the Gods, weathering countless calamities. He discussed the Dao with the Sages, mastered the Bestiary, and was personally appointed by the Heavenly Dao as the Emperor of Mountains and Seas.
But after an inexplicable deep slumber, the countless beasts of the Classic of Mountains and Seas broke through the boundaries between worlds and fell into the mortal realm.
To conceal a lapse in the laws of Heaven, he severed a fragment of his primordial spirit to create a human incarnation. With Shen Yan, an eight-year-old Daoist boy, and Daji, the nine-tailed fox of Qingqiu, he crossed mountains and rivers in search of the escaped beasts.
A day in Heaven is a year in the mortal realm.
As ancient divine beasts shed their fearsome reputations and found family, made close friends, and formed deep bonds amid the bustle of everyday life, every stroke he added to the Bestiary of Mountains and Seas weighed as heavily as a thousand catties.
And so begins a meeting between the mountains and seas and the mortal world, a tale of bonds between strange beasts and humankind.
