Summary:
In order to fill the gap in the sky, Nuwa collected the fire from heaven, condensed the essence of heaven and earth, and transformed it into the magical Lotus Lantern, which she gave to San Shengmu (Guan Sihui) as a protective magic weapon. However, San Shengmu fell in love with Liu Xi in the human world, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the heavenly court. They sent Yang Jian to Huashan to suppress San Shengmu.
San Shengmu's son Chenxiang (Zhao Yixin) grew up and became a disciple of Sun Wukong, learning martial arts. With the determination to take back the Lotus Lantern and save his mother, he decided to split the mountain and leave. However, Yang Jian was in pain, but he forced San Shengmu into a desperate situation before Chenxiang took action. Chenxiang's action triggered a huge disaster, and he killed the heavenly court in an attempt to change the rules of heaven and earth. But he encountered a joint counterattack from the three realms of Buddha, Taoism, and God, and faced a catastrophe. The Lotus Lantern was originally the initial power, but the three realms did not expect that the original sin had been quietly buried as early as the beginning of heaven and earth. Behind all this, there are deeper secrets and an interweaving of fate.
