A corpse of an evil god with a bull's head fell from the heavens into the mountains and seas, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains were corrupted into a world of strange horrors.
After the survival of the fittest,
those walking the earth were no longer ordinary humans.
Night became dangerous, and the forests grew uncanny.
On dangerous roads, only an ox could grant safe passage.
And so, oxen became all the rage.
People burned incense and bowed to worship the Ox God, built temples and shrines to honor ox spirits, and came to prize oxen above all else. When arranging marriages, they cared neither about the groom nor his home, only whether the oxen in his pen were strong and sturdy.
Oxen became the mounts of escort companies, the war steeds of cavalry, and the emperor's carriage. They also became tools wielded by powerful clans to control wealth and power.
Su Qi transmigrated into the body of a lowly oxherd in a family of night watchmen.
He worked hard at raising cattle and finally bred the mightiest bull of all. He became head oxherd, married eighteen beautiful wives, and rose to become the most famous big shot beneath Flame Mountain.
But then, one day,
a monk from the Eastern Land of Great Tang, riding a white horse and leading three disciples, arrived…
"Ha! Bull Demon King, dare to face me, Old Sun, in battle?"
A golden cudgel came crashing down from the sky!
