Summary:
Three giant monsters escaped from heaven and came to the human world to cause trouble. The Jade Emperor (played by Liu Xiaolingtong) sent Nezha (played by Han Han) to the human world to find the guardian of the three realms. Nezha learned that there was a huge stone on Mount Tai that absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, when he arrived, the huge stone had already transformed into Shi Gan Dang (played by Zhang Zijian) and left Mount Tai before him. Shi Gan Dang was ridiculed in the mortal world, but his kind-hearted nature persevered in using his magic power to protect all living beings. In the end, the people discovered Shi Gan Dang’s integrity and courage. At the same time, Nezha mistook the giant monster for Shi Gan Dang. In the misunderstanding, Nezha and the real Shi Gan Dang fought. In the end, the misunderstanding was resolved and the giant monster was eliminated by the two together. Five hundred years later, the god Qui-Gon (played by Liu Dekai) attempted to rebel, and the gods and even the Jade Emperor were killed. Fortunately, Shi Gan Dang escaped to save everyone and bravely entered the Asura world full of terror and danger.
