[Folklore and mystery, a world of souls, role-playing game experience, cosmic secrets] A text-based role-playing game called "The Mundane World" quietly emerged, and people discovered that the rewards earned in the game could actually be transferred to real life? A new age of exploration for the whole society has begun. Some people look up at the deep space, mustering the courage to embark on a journey home, while others aim for a gold rush to the origins of civilization, wanting to discover the mysterious treasures hidden in ancient history. Feng shui and physiognomy, tomb raiding, corpse driving and exorcism, Gu poison and black magic, mountain minions and leatherworkers, river porters and porters, bed lice, silk reeling and salt boiling, the Five Thunder Orthodox Method to exorcise evil spirits, the use of ashes from fox, weasel, and willow to summon Taoist soldiers, exorcists raising ghost children, sorceresses performing Nuo rituals, a bowl of talismanic water to cure afflictions, a single yellow talisman for a Taoist master to receive ordination, river gods refusing to eat last year's offerings, floodwaters flowing eastward, no resting at mountain god temples, no asking directions before the Earth God… It was a land of moral decay, plagues on earth, rampant folk gods, copper roads everywhere, and a maddening place where filth and evil spirits thrived. What secrets lay hidden behind the arrival of extraterrestrial civilizations on Earth? What would be the outcome of using missiles and other modern weapons to fight against these demons and monsters? Zhou Ba La takes charge of the Grand Sacrifice to the Stove, oversees the mortal world, invites five armies to enter the four beams and eight pillars, and commands the demons and monsters, returning to that absurd folk world forgotten by mankind, revealing the truth of the origin of ancient civilization, and gazing at mankind's homeland far away in the starry sky beyond the universe.
