The story
What it's about
The story takes place in the untamed era of Yandi and Huangdi. As various powers vie for control of the Central Plains, the universally recognized leader of the world, Shennong the Great, passes away. The chieftains of the five tribes—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—begin to stir with ambition. In these turbulent times, a young man named Tuoba Ye emerges like a comet. By a stroke of chance, he inherits Shennong’s dying legacy and embarks on a thrilling, legendary journey.
