The story takes place in the primitive era of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor. At a time when heroes vied for supremacy in the Central Plains, the universally acknowledged leader, Shennong, passed away, and various tribes representing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth began to stir. Amidst this turbulent era, the young Tuoba Ye emerged, and by chance received the dying legacy of Shennong, thus beginning a thrilling and legendary journey. [搜神记 - iqiyi]
