Lu Yu arrived in a bizarre world where an evil god peered and ancient taboos revived from the depths of time. In this world, birds, beasts, mountains, rivers, and even elements can give birth to spiritual creatures, which radiate their own ecological habitats, such as the Hades realm, the skeletal kingdom, the lair of the enchantress, and the celestial tree nation, nurturing countless companions. The beast tamer forms a contract with and nurtures the spiritual creatures, harnessing their spirituality. After witnessing the Forbidden Sun incident, Lu Yu gained the ability to extract materials from all things in the world and create the "Secret Feast". By evolving the Secret Feast, combining the "Shattered Twilight World" with the "Ancient Dragon Dead Egg", the spiritual creatures who consume it evolve into the Twilight Dragon God, corroding the world with the twilight and becoming the incarnation of the God of Apocalypse. The skill of the Secret Feast allows the spiritual creatures to plunder the skills of all things, gradually acquiring omniscience and omnipotence, and offering sacrifices to the Secret Feast to seize the forbidden time and blaspheme the ancient beings and the gods.

When Xule shifted his gaze from those words and saw the countless stars behind the dust for the first time, he was not moved. On the contrary, he was furious: How could anyone stand these stars shining so brightly outside the sky of the Great Region? Being dazzled by these lights every day, one would probably become like those wild cats in the mine, dumbstruck by the headlights! So Xule gave up his dream of becoming an esteemed female warship commander's assistant officer and began to fall, fall, and fall under the influence of gravity. He became a poor boy from a remote town, a pitiful man who sold his body, and a male nanny engaged in tedious work...
