In the realm of the Demon Wasteland, one rule stands above all: never venture out after dark. Zhang Chu, while reading the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" under the old jujube tree in his hometown, inexplicably finds himself transported to this perilous world. Here, danger lurks at every corner, and terrifying creatures reign supreme at night. Zhang Chu, who wished for a simple life as a humble teacher, soon discovers that everything he brought with him holds extraordinary secrets. The mysterious old jujube tree and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" transform into a map of mythical landscapes, turning danger into opportunity.

Rising from obscurity, Zhang Chu embarks on a path of slaying and consuming demons, wielding the power of the mythical map. To humans, he is a refined and gentle scholar, admired by countless geniuses and revered by leaders. To demons, he is a nightmare incarnate, devouring even the most formidable of their kind. As Zhang Chu steps into the vast and enigmatic wilderness, a grand and mysterious world unfolds like a painting. Ancient and mystical creatures awaken, and Zhang Chu's legend begins—conquering forbidden zones, treading burial grounds, subduing myriad races, forging paths to the heavens, and leaving an indelible mark on eternity.
