In this game, you play as an immortal tasked with helping Yu Gong remove the towering mountains that stand right outside his home. You can use a variety of means to boost his mountain-digging efficiency and upgrade his technology. You may also help him raise more descendants, or even take matters into your own hands and dig alongside him using powerful divine artifacts.

Along the way, you will traverse and dig through renowned mountains and grand rivers across China, gathering ancient relics and legendary artifacts unearthed from the earth.

Thanks to your assistance, Yu Gong will eventually attain immortality through cultivation. He then continues his lifelong work of digging mountains in the Heavenly Court.
