Luo Yi often stands alone on top of a mountain, facing the direction of the Cadia Riverlands where her hometown is, waiting for the person she has kept waiting for to show up. This person is the reincarnation of the Black Dragon who was sealed away by the Great Dragon after a war between light and dark spread all over the Land of Dawn, destroying people's lives and property. The Black Dragon and the Great Dragon led many new and old races who did not want to be involved in the war to start an unprecedented migration. During this migration, humans were divided into two sects because of different ideas. Those who advocated peace and stability became the Great Dragon's disciples, while those who pursued strength and advocated using force became the Black Dragon's fighters. Under the shield of the Black Dragon, the fighters gained the absolute strength they dreamed of and became stronger. They began a plan to overthrow the order established by the Great Dragon and help the Black Dragon become the ruler of the Cadia Riverlands.
To stop the coming war, the Great Dragon suppressed the Black Dragon by force and sealed him in the Forbidden Area of Dragon Soul. The fighters who depended on the Black Dragon were completely expelled from the Cadia Riverlands and became homeless in the Land of Dawn. The Black Dragon made his will and told the fighters that he would still be reincarnated in this land a thousand years later, and an earth-shaking change would happen in the Cadia Riverlands, where the fighters would continue to fulfill their mission.
Luo Yi is one of the few descendants who stick to the mission for generations and expects the reincarnation of the Black Dragon to rebuild the order. She walks all over the Land of Dawn to look for the scattered descendants of fighters, but they have already been smoothed by the ordinary life during the passing of time. They became numb and cowardly. Luo Yi decides to look for the reincarnated Black Dragon by herself. Under the guidance of stars, Luo Yi finally finds the Black Dragon's reincarnation, Yu Zhong, a disciple traveling around the world.
Luo Yi invites Yu Zhong to travel together on the Land of Dawn to verify her judgment. The chaos caused by war and the peaceful Cadia Riverlands form a sharp contrast, which makes Yu Zhong doubt the world. Luo Yi tells Yu Zhong about his past life and the existence of the reverse scale, but Yu Zhong feels hard to believe at that moment. Luo Yi knows Yu Zhong is still young and immature, and he hasn't put everything down and lost all, so he can't break the shackles of the world. She lets Yu Zhong leave alone, firmly believing that he will come back. She makes preparations for Yu Zhong to get back the reverse scale, knowing that it has already rooted in Yu Zhong's heart, and the stubborn Great Dragon would never allow his connection with it.
