Setting

A calamity befalls the world With the immortal tree Ju Mu as a base, the Shen Nong tribe reconstructs Liu Yue City, guiding the immortals to construct the five-colored stones and hand it over to Nuwa in order to repair the pillar of heaven.

However, due to the long period of time needed, death and casualty were aplenty. There exists a tribe named "Lie Shan", who possesses psychic power. The people of the tribe entered Liu Yue City and assisted the Shen Nong. Touched by their sincerity, the Shen Nong therefore inserted a drop of their immortal blood into Gui Mu, causing the tree to blossom with the power of life; therefore allowing the people of Lie Shan to survive without food or water.

The process of repairing the heavens was difficult. The heaven's emperor Fu Yi then uses the immortal Zhao Ming sword, heading toward the Eastern Seas to kill the Ju Ao (a great turtle) and uses its legs to set them up as the four pillars. The azure sky was patched; the four pillars were set up; the surging waters were drained. However in the process, the Zhao Ming sword was destroyed. After the disaster, foul air filled the mortal realm, and people slowly began to die of illness. However, Liu Yue City was situated within the Nine Heavens, and therefore was not affected much by the foul air. The Shen Nong and Lie Shan tribe stayed within the city while looking for other suitable places to reside in. Slowly, Liu Yue City was left a barren land. The Lie Shan tribe therefore construed the Temple of Wei'e, praying everyday for the immortals to return.
