Boundless and vast is the earth, the future ever-changing. Amid chaos, the dragon and serpent rise. Who is the True Dragon, and who is the giant serpent? Or could it be that all beings under Heaven and Earth have the potential to become dragons?

The imperial court, martial sects of the Jianghu, reclusive immortals, millennia-old clans, barbarians, demon gods, yokai, ancient shamanic arts—countless factions entwine, their fates interwoven.

All that is born and perishes are beings of this world.

Some are mindful, some are mindless, some are neither mindful nor mindless—all are sentient beings.

Even the void can collapse; even the Heavenly Dao can fall into despair. They too are sentient beings.

What defines a Dragon?

The power to shake mountains and rivers, to move seas and fill valleys—that is a Dragon.

Ceaselessly rising, fiercely advancing—that is a Dragon.

Bearing great virtue, guiding and enlightening the masses—that is a Dragon.

Brimming with talent, their legacy enduring through millennia—that is a Dragon.

Fiery passion, heroic spirit, and unwavering loyalty—that is a Dragon.

Grand and magnanimous, unflinching in the face of death—that is a Dragon.

Compassionate and empathetic, saving those in suffering—that is a Dragon.

Upholding justice, vanquishing evil, and subduing demons—that is a Dragon.

Humble and respectful, warm and graceful like jade—that is a Dragon.

Radiant on the outside, wise within, serene and elegant—that is a Dragon.

Steely and resolute, brave and unyielding—that is a Dragon.

This is the story of sentient beings and the Dragon.
