Spring and Autumn: Investiture of the Gods

About the story

The story takes place in an imagined era. In the final years of the Great Zhou, King You exhausts his people's strength on warfare and shows no respect for the celestial clan. Demons plunge the world into chaos, leaving the people in misery. The mysterious girl Zishang, bearing the bloodline power of ancient sages, travels in disguise as a merchant to seek the Nine Cauldrons of Taiyu, secretly resisting tyranny and striving to bring peace to the realm. Han Ji, a hot-blooded young disciple of Linjing Valley, follows his immortal master's orders to help Zishang slay demons and save all living beings. Yet the quest for the cauldrons is far more difficult than either imagined. Ever since the ancient high god Taiji sealed the nine cauldrons together with Yinglong, many factions have coveted the Nine Cauldrons of Taiyu, whose immense power could overturn the order of heaven and earth. The brutal King You levies oppressive taxes; the Fox Lord is determined to restore the fox clan's greatness; and a “Sacred Sovereign” hidden behind the scenes seeks to reactivate the Myriad Immortals Formation and overthrow the world. Interference from the fox demon Lianxi causes Taiyu's divine essence to burst apart and scatter, taking the form of nine divine cauldrons dispersed across the land. Han Ji and Zishang therefore set off once again to find them. In this world where the five realms of humans, gods, immortals, demons, and spirits intertwine, a war among the five realms, filled with countless ambitions, conspiracies, and mysteries, begins.
