In ancient times, mountains and seas invaded. To survive, humanity sought the way of the ancients, and later received the teachings of the Mountain Master, which were passed on to three friends. Through painting, they defined the myriad realms of the universe, and used demons to summarize the vastness of things, ultimately leaving behind the unparalleled legacy of the Demon Painter. However, people only know about mountains and seas, but they don't know that there are also mountains and seas that can be reversed. 1700 Years ago, the world collapsed and the seas reversed their course. The imbalance of demonic power caused countless worlds to lose the possibility of giving birth to demon painters. However, some worlds became paradises for demon painters. In order to live a better life, our ancestors abandoned their homeland and moved to new homes. Blue Star, an ancient planet, once nurtured the civilization of the Painter Demons. But now, it has been forgotten. Technology has replaced ancient wisdom, and the Painters Demons and the mythical beasts of the mountains and seas have become unscientific myths. The Cloud Stone Komainu, Emperor Xiwu, Lonely Mountain Cold Princess, Three-Bag Spider Demon, Bamboo Creator, Two-Hearted Ape—due to an accident, Qin Xuan from Earth became a Painter of Demons who commands the beasts of mountains and seas.

However, Du Chen never expected that his works would become a hit throughout the entire other world. A group of Taoist priests revered the Tao Te Ching as a classic text, crying out to Du Chen to discuss the Great Tao, and worshipping Du Chen as the ancestor of Taoism. A group of monks regarded the Heart Sutra as a Buddhist scripture to be passed down through generations. They would recite the sutra three times every day before going to sleep and eating, dreaming of attaining the true Buddhahood. A group of renowned scholars in the imperial court recognized the Book of Changes as the pinnacle of contemporary literature, and the saying "everyone can become a dragon" boosted the talent of the world. The gods and Buddhas all regard "The Primordial Era" as an ancient, fragmented civilization, and they are completely engrossed in reading it. However, they are of poor character and send razor blades to urge the author to update the story. Fortunately, this world is amazing. Once a written work is recognized, the characters and so on in the book will become real. So Du Chen was torn between writing "Covering the Sky and Covering the Sun" or "Battle Qi World" for his next book.
