In ancient times, the ancient Immortal Clan resided in the Xuanhuang Wasteland. They were born with powerful spiritual energy. Among them, Hei Long was a dragon born from chaos, inherently violent and the most powerful. Gen Gu, the lord of the Immortal Clan, was wary of Hei Long's power and sought to eliminate him. Hei Long and Gen Gu fought for a hundred days, ultimately ending with the death of Gen Gu and all of the ancient Immortal Clan.

In this great battle, Hei Long's lover, Bai Long, died in combat. Hei Long was filled with immense grief and rage. To rule the Three Realms, Hei Long declared himself the Divine King, sealed the Xuanhuang Wasteland as the Divine Domain, and created the new Immortal Clan. In the hundred thousand years that followed, the Demon Clan was sealed underground by Hei Long, falling into eternal night and suffering from the pain of Petrification Sickness for generations.

Additionally, some Immortal Clan members who were dissatisfied with Hei Long rebelled against the Divine Domain, establishing the Shenyin Clan and surviving in the Human Realm in reclusion. The Sea Spirit Clan was enslaved by the Immortal Clan, becoming permanent gatekeepers on the sea of the Divine Domain. The Human race was ordered by Hei Long to mine blood stones for generations to offer to the Immortal Clan, suffering brutal ravages and humiliation.

From then on, under Hei Long's rule, all races in the Three Realms endured immense suffering and widespread lamentation. A hundred thousand years later, a Divine Envoy Xuancha came to the state of Xin to deliver a divine oracle, demanding that King Xin commit ten times the manpower to the North Mountain mine to extract blood stones.

At the same time, King Xin, unable to tolerate the oppression of the Immortal Clan and worried about the lives of his people, resolutely refused. However, he did not expect the Divine Envoy to order King Xin to attack the state of Bo and enslave its people. King Xin burned the divine oracle in a single blaze, no longer willing to be bullied by the Immortal Clan. The Divine Envoy was furious and moved to punish the state of Xin.

Prince Wu Geng of Xin directly struck and killed the divine beast brought by the Divine Envoy. The Immortal Clan used this as a pretext to launch a large-scale attack on the state of Xin, resulting in heavy casualties among the soldiers of Xin. General Mo was dissatisfied with King Xin declaring war on the Immortal Clan and wanted to assassinate King Xin to appease the Immortal Clan's anger.

King Xin persuaded General Mo to fight against the Immortal Clan for the sake of the people of Xin, but unexpectedly, General Mo remained stubborn and was ultimately killed in front of King Xin. Wu Geng volunteered to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy but was refused by King Xin. King Xin asked him to receive the refugees and be responsible for their welfare.

King Xin told Wu Geng that although his father had told others that the Human race was born to serve the Immortal Clan, he believed that people's fate was in their own hands. He didn't want to accept his fate, which is why he resisted the Immortal Clan. The next day, the young girl Bai Cai brought the slave A Gou to the city to sell medicinal herbs.

Unexpectedly, the two were jostled by citizens scrambling for food in the city, overturning their basket of herbs, causing the herbs to be trampled. The herbal shop was only willing to buy the medicinal herbs from Bai Cai at a low price. Seeing the injuries on A Gou's hand from being stepped on, Bai Cai could only bear the pain and sell the herbs in her hands at a low price.

Bai Cai treated the wound on A Gou's hand and then took him to buy food. However, the owner of the food store had raised prices due to the war, and the money Bai Cai had could only buy half a bag of grain. Wu Geng brought men to inspect the grain market. Bai Cai unexpectedly discovered that His Highness the Prince actually resembled A Gou in his features.

Taking advantage of His Highness the Prince's presence, Bai Cai deliberately declared publicly that the owner of this food store was a great philanthropist, selling a bag of grain for only one Bei. The store owner could not deny this in front of Wu Geng and could only reluctantly sell the grain. After Bai Cai bought four bags of grain, she prepared to leave with A Gou.

Unexpectedly, the food store sent people to intercept them and demand the return of the grain. The two sides began fighting, which was discovered by the patrolling Wu Geng. The food store falsely accused Bai Cai of using fake Bei to buy the grain. Bai Cai accused the food store of price gouging. Wu Geng ordered his men to take them all back for investigation. A Gou seized the opportunity to push away the officers and leave with Bai Cai.

Bai Cai persuaded A Gou to take the grain home first, while she took the opportunity to distract Wu Geng. Wu Geng had already caught Bai Cai and was planning to take her back for investigation, but at this moment, he received a telepathic message from his mother and had to return to the palace promptly. Wu Geng's mother, Xin Yuehu, told her son that he could not defeat the enemy alone.

In addition to having a sharp mind and indomitable courage, he needed to have a kind heart that loved the world and loved the people. Only by learning to love the people would they fight alongside him to protect the state of Xin. Wu Geng did not understand why his mother told him these things, but Xin Yuehu did not offer further explanation. King Xin decided to lead the army himself for the sake of the people and Wu Geng.

Xin Yuehu was not afraid of the hardships to come, but her heart was uneasy about her son, Wu Geng. Wu Geng investigated and confirmed that the food store owner had engaged in price gouging, and ordered him to be decapitated and his head displayed to the public. At the same time, the Immortal Clan led troops to attack the gates of the state of Xin.

King Bo Zhou Fa and Zhou Qiao, under the orders of the Immortal Clan, charged into the state of Xin. King Xin led his troops out of the city to meet the challenge. Wu Geng wanted to follow his father out of the city to fight, but Wu Geng believed that as the Prince of Xin, he had a responsibility to go out and meet the challenge. Finally, King Xin agreed to let Wu Geng go out to battle. Due to the war, the people were in a panic, and Bai Cai and A Gou were also accidentally separated.
