Summary from the web novel:

Fa Hua is the most outstanding prodigy from the Magic Domain. He lives in the Magic Domain, upholds law and order, has etiquette and is well-mannered, is an expert at commanding, and controls the power of the Codex.

Lan Ge is the most outstanding prodigy from the Blue Domain. He lives in the Blue Domain, advocates freedom, lives as a free soul, is an expert at battling, and controls the power of the Elements.

The people from the Magic Domain believe that humans are descendants of the Gods. During the ancient times, they received the blessings of the Codex, which allowed them to create and uphold law and order.

The people from the Blue Domain believe that humans are naturally born to be pampered. They were favoured by nature and obtained the power of the Six Major Elements — water, fire, earth, wind, light and darkness. They believe strongly in having freedom.

Although both Domains were made up of humans, their mindsets were highly conflicting, causing them to be in a constant state of half-confrontation and half-cooperation. Whenever they were attacked by other non-human tribes, they would work together to fight against their common enemy. But when there were no external threats present, they refused to tolerate one another.

Given these huge conflicts between their Domains, it was only by chance of a risky adventure that Fa Hua and Lan Ge crossed paths. Through a serendipitous encounter, they were both bound together by a mysterious contract that allowed them to share the same fate. With this contract, they were granted the ability to call upon each other’s powers…
