The Age of Gods has long since ended, their
voices no longer heard on the continent of Douluo. Humanity, standing
on the shoulders of legends from its history, advanced soul technology
to inconceivable heights. The humans of Douluo invented weapons of mass
destruction, mechanized armor, and living metals. With these
advancements, they went on to conquer the oceans and discovered two new
continents. To fuel these new technologies, humanity hunted the soul
beasts to the very brink of extinction.

Once the dominant force of Douluo, the few surviving soul beasts now
hide in the darkest recesses of their last sanctuary. The weakest have
all been hunted, leaving only the strongest to scheme in the heart of
the forest. The soul beasts, not willing to fade away, plot an uprising
for their survival. In the midst of this, a god from a long forgotten
era awakens in the depths of the Great Star Dou Forest to seek vengeance
for the soul beasts.

As darkness encroaches from the abyss, hope is found in a young boy
who holds a power beyond divinity within himself—Tang Wulin! Hope for
both humanity and the soul beasts, as the bridge between the two. He
finds his way into the fabled halls of Shrek Academy, where he learns to
wield his prodigious powers, makes friends and finds allies, eventually
rising to become a towering leader.

As he learns to harness his strength, danger lurks within the shadows
as the various factions of humanity maneuver and plot to usurp Shrek
Academy. Tang Wulin discovers the threat to the only world he knows as
he sinks deeper into the intrigue. Meanwhile, camouflaged by the chaos
and unbeknownst to the humans, the soul beasts’ plot continues to
steadily advance.

To defend what he loves and reclaim what was lost, Tang Wulin must
seek out the legacies of legends past and unlock the full might of the
Golden Dragon King!
