## Synopsis

Immortal arts, magic weapons, magical powers, and the boundless spiritual Qi between heaven and earth vanished into obscurity overnight, and all the exorcists became mere mortals.

300 years later, the Five Barbarians traversed the pass, a prelude to an era of great turmoil in China. They heralded the end of the world, where thousands of drought fiends stalked the night and the collapse of the Divine Land was imminent.

Fortunately, within this long, dark night where silence had fallen on all magic, a lone star still glistened brightly on the horizon.

The Heart Lamp appeared, illuminating the vast expanse around it. A 16-year-old young man, who will end his life on his 20th birthday, embarked on a journey of reclaiming the spiritual Qi of the heavens and earth that had been sealed away — only four years remain.

The road ahead was filled with countless thistles and thorns, and it seemed improbable for him to succeed.

Chen Xing, “The important thing is that I’m the last exorcist in this world, yet the only magic I am capable of is emitting light. What can I do?”

Wait patiently then. When the Dinghai pearl reappears on earth, the uncertain trajectory of everyone’s fates will be completely disrupted before converging once more.

Chen Xing, “Could I be partnered with a more normal Protector martial god?”

Isn’t your Protector really skilled in fighting?

Chen Xing, “He is good at fighting, but when he loses it he’ll hit even me……”

There’s nothing that can be done about that, you can only blame yourself for losing yourself to lust.

## Plot

300 years ago, Silence befell All Magic. Neither *yao*s nor exorcists were able to cultivate or call upon the *qi* of Heaven and Earth anymore, and the Chang'an Exorcist Department fell into ruins. Chen Xing, the last of the Divine Land's Great Exorcist, went into the world with the task of finding out where all of this *qi* had gone, and to restore it to the world before he dies at age 20. However, in his quest to do so, he is also finding out that an ancient evil is reawakening.

## Setting

Like the rest of the Exorcist series, the setting of Dinghai Fusheng Records is that of historical China but with the existence of *yao*s, both good, bad and neutral, often hiding from the human race. Dinghai Fusheng Records is set during the Eastern Jin dynasty, where the conflict between the Hans and the Hu was reaching its climax.
The story starts on February first of the fourth year of Jin Taiyuan, or the year 379, in the middle of the besieging of Xiangyang city.
