This fantasy work combines traditional culture and ideological characteristics. The work begins with the traditional simple concept of yin and yang transformation, leading to the battle between gods and demons, implying that gods and demons are not incompatible, but have something in common. The mythical beasts in the work are headed by dragons, phoenixes, lins, turtles, and snakes that are most respected by the Chinese people, and then the common animal images in traditional myths and folklore are extended to divine kings and divine ministers. In the Spring and Autumn Period of the Kingdom of God, the relationship between heaven and the Kingdom of God is just like the relationship between the emperor and the princes. Although it is a fantasy story, it is reminiscent of the Spring and Autumn Period, a time when rituals collapsed and music and feudal lords fought for hegemony. The different national conditions of each divine kingdom are just like Jin, Chu, Qi, Qin and other countries embarking on different paths to become powerful nations. In the changing times, female images such as Li Ji, Xi Gui, Xuan Jiang, and Xia Ji are even implied. The relationship between the stars in the sky and the kingdom of heaven is like the concept of the division between the stars in the sky and the ground in traditional culture. In addition, immortal religion and spiritual religion have some similarities with Taoism and Buddhism. In terms of plot development, it started from a simple confrontation between the two forces of gods and demons. The gods seemed to be victorious, but they caused internal strife and a war between humans and beasts, which brought huge shocks to the entire world, showing that internal strife is more harmful than external aggression. The mythical beasts took the opportunity to rise, and the Kingdom of God came into being, competing with the heavens. In addition, ghosts, fairies, and spirits were also created by taking advantage of the civil war among the gods. Afterwards, the struggle for hegemony between divine kingdoms and the competition among gods within divine kingdoms became increasingly fierce, which was also in line with the inevitable law of social development. Demon and witch forces also took the opportunity to rise. In the end, a chaotic situation of demons, gods, beasts, humans, ghosts, immortals, spirits, demons and witches was formed.
