Then the whole world discovered that this tractor factory was becoming increasingly absurd: New energy vehicles, tanks, jet engines, passenger planes, fighter jets, aircraft carriers...

Someone once moved mountains and shifted hills with just one brush, his paintings so captivating it could enchant immortals and deities. That year, the warmth of spring made the flowers bloom. They were merely an ordinary butcher, a bookworm, a chicken farmer and a poor artist. This is the story of how a Low Level Martial World Continent was transformed into the Ultimate Fantasy Universe.
