On this land of Shenzhou, demons, monsters, and humans stand side by side. Yet the demons are so powerful that they rule all of Shenzhou, wantonly enslaving humanity, while the monster race struggles to survive in the cracks. Twenty-five years ago, the Monster Emperor Xuan Yi fell in love with Yue Li, a human woman. But under pressure from the elders of his clan, he had no choice but to marry a monster woman as his empress, though he continued to see Yue Li in secret. Their half-monster son, Xuan Xin, was born, and spent five happy years of childhood. Five years later, Monster Emperor Xuan Yi suddenly died. The Monster Empress sent people to hunt down Yue Li and her son. Xuan Xin watched his loved ones die before his eyes, experiencing the helplessness of the weak and the lowly status of humanity. After escaping his pursuers, he attained enlightenment on Mount Haoyue in Zhongzhou and founded a new cultivation method for humans. Bearing a blood feud, he changed his name to Hao Xin and resolved to unite like-minded people across Shenzhou, overturn the world, overthrow the demons' rule, and bring equality to all.
