Primordial Era: I! Vanguard of Xuanmen! Grand General of Human Sect!

Standing before you is Shi Yu: the senior-most disciple of the School of Humanity, the vanguard of the Daoist sects, the Heavenly Court's foremost Earth God and concurrently the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole, Commander of the Divine Judiciary, and Dean of Spirit Terrace and Square Inch Vocational and Technical College.

Transmigrating into the primordial world, he becomes an innate being-a Great Void Water-Cloud Crane-with a phantom image of the Supreme Ultimate upon him and a natural affinity for the Great Dao of Water.

At his birth, extraordinary omens descend from the heavens. By chance, the Two Sages of the West, who have come east to seek alms (and refuge), discover him. Seeing his heaven-defying destiny, they decide he is surely fated to join their Western teachings. Just as they are about to forcibly take him west, Sage Taiqing intervenes and accepts him as a disciple.

From that day onward, the Daoist sects gain a fiercely loyal and righteous senior brother...

"As long as I, Shi Yu, am around, the Three Pure Ones will never fall out!"

Wielding his companion spirit treasure, the Cloud-Void Water Fan, Shi Yu charges onto the front lines of the Daoist sects. What a vanguard of the Daoist faith! What a mighty champion of the School of Humanity!
