In Search of Gods Episode 1 introduces the mysterious Great Wilderness, where Tuoba Ye begins his legendary journey while the terrifying Blue Winged Sea Dragon attacks Mirage City. The first episode immediately throws viewers into a dangerous fantasy world filled with divine beasts, ancient clans, hidden powers, and an approaching war that could destroy the entire land.
The episode begins inside the powerful Mirage City, ruled by the legendary Lord Qiao Yu. The city appears peaceful at first, but the atmosphere suddenly changes when the ocean begins freezing under a terrifying spiritual pressure. Dark clouds cover the sky while violent winds spread across the sea.
Moments later, a massive divine beast emerges from the depths of the ocean.
The creature is revealed to be the Blue Winged Sea Dragon Beast, one of the feared Ten Great Divine Beasts of the Water Tribe. Its gigantic body radiates freezing energy powerful enough to freeze the sea itself. The appearance of the monster instantly throws Mirage City into panic as soldiers and civilians fear complete destruction.
However, Lord Qiao Yu calmly steps forward without showing even the slightest fear.
Standing beside him is Qiao Chiyou, the young master of Mirage City. Although still young, he wishes to prove himself as a true warrior and refuses to retreat from battle.
The Blue Winged Sea Dragon suddenly attacks, unleashing massive waves of frozen water toward the city. Entire sections of the battlefield freeze instantly under the beast’s overwhelming aura. Even experienced warriors are unable to approach it because of the terrifying pressure released by the divine beast.
Despite the danger, Qiao Yu continues fighting calmly as though he has not yet revealed his true strength.
During the battle, Qiao Yu suddenly says:
“I have been holding back this whole time… but you keep pushing your luck.”
At that moment, the atmosphere completely changes.
Qiao Yu releases his terrifying technique known as Myriad Ravines Wreathed in Still Ice. Endless streams of frozen spiritual energy explode into the sky while giant pillars of ice surround the battlefield from every direction. The pressure released by the technique shocks everyone watching the battle.
For the first time, even the Blue Winged Sea Dragon is forced backward.
This opening fight is one of the biggest highlights of In Search of Gods Episode 1 and perfectly shows the power system of the Great Wilderness.
Enraged by the resistance, the divine beast gathers its ancient ice power and launches a deadly attack directly toward Qiao Chiyou. Just before the attack lands, Qiao Yu instantly appears in front of him and blocks the devastating strike head-on, protecting Mirage City from destruction.
After the intense confrontation in Mirage City, the story shifts toward another mysterious location inside the Great Wilderness — the sacred Nanji Mountains connected to Shennong, the Divine Emperor.
Far away from the battlefield, a young wanderer named Tuoba Ye begins traveling through the wilderness. Although he initially appears ordinary, his arrival immediately attracts the attention of powerful beasts and ancient guardians throughout the land.
Long ago, Shennong personally warned several tribes and guardians about Tuoba Ye’s future potential. Because of this warning, many creatures become cautious whenever his name is mentioned.
Across the Great Wilderness, people speak about a legendary title known as the “Wild Hero.” This title is reserved only for warriors capable of changing the fate of the world itself. According to Shennong, Tuoba Ye may one day become such a hero.
Tuoba Ye also possesses the mysterious Five Virtues, a rare talent mentioned in ancient legends. It is said that only a handful of individuals in thousands of years were born with all five virtues combined.
In Search of Gods slowly reveals that Tuoba Ye may become one of the most important figures in the entire Great Wilderness.
To test his abilities, Shennong arranges a trial involving a mysterious sword hidden deep inside a sacred pool.
The moment Tuoba Ye pulls the sword from the water, the atmosphere suddenly changes. Terrifying beasts hidden nearby awaken at once and begin attacking everything around them.
During the chaos, a sacred creature known as the White Dragon Deer appears before Tuoba Ye. Unlike ordinary beasts, the White Dragon Deer possesses divine spiritual energy and ancient intelligence.
When the surrounding monsters attack the sacred creature, Tuoba Ye immediately steps forward to protect it.
A fierce battle erupts across the wilderness as explosions of spiritual energy shake the mountains. Using the mysterious sword, Tuoba Ye fearlessly charges into battle and overwhelms several beasts with incredible strength.
However, during the chaotic fight, the White Dragon Deer accidentally collides with the sacred weapon, causing the sword to shatter into pieces.
Everyone nearby expects Shennong to become furious after witnessing the destruction of the blade.
Instead, Shennong simply laughs.
His strange reaction shocks everyone because it feels as though he had already predicted the sword would break from the very beginning.
After the battle finally ends, Shennong reveals the true reason behind Tuoba Ye’s arrival.
He presents him with a mysterious Divine Wood Token containing an ancient message written in blood:
“Find the Green Emperor and tell him to arrive within seven days to stop the war.”
The warning instantly changes the atmosphere.
A massive war capable of destroying countless lives is slowly approaching the Great Wilderness, and Tuoba Ye may be the only person capable of preventing it.
Knowing that the journey ahead will be extremely dangerous, Shennong gives Tuoba Ye an ancient Tree Book containing knowledge collected from hundreds of years of travel. The mysterious book records hidden lands, forbidden territories, powerful clans, divine beasts, and forgotten secrets scattered throughout the Great Wilderness.
Even after the sacred sword was destroyed, Shennong continues showing unusual favor toward Tuoba Ye. Instead of throwing the broken weapon away, he decides to send it to the legendary Kongsang Fairy, believing that only she possesses the power needed to restore the sword’s true form.
Before Tuoba Ye leaves the Nanji Mountains, the true condition of Shennong is finally revealed. Throughout his life, Shennong consumed countless medicinal herbs in his quest to understand their properties and help humanity. However, the accumulated effects of these powerful herbs gradually destroyed his body. By the end of his life, the overwhelming toxicity and spiritual backlash caused him to turn into a stone-like form. Even in his final moments, Shennong continues to guide Tuoba Ye, leaving behind his wisdom and legacy for the young hero to carry into the future.
As In Search of Gods Episode 1 finally comes to an end, Tuoba Ye officially begins his journey across the Great Wilderness. While ancient beasts continue awakening and war slowly approaches the land, he unknowingly carries the hopes of countless people on his shoulders.
