After being punished by his teacher for questioning the moral of the ancient Chinese myth "Jingwei Fills the Sea," Ling Xiaobu enters the Stellar Academy. There, he discovers that the "Dimensional Anchor," a device protecting Earth, is being eroded by a "Devouring Energy."
Ling Xiaobu and his companions, Xiao Putao and Xiao Lizi, travel back in time to the Han Dynasty to save the historian Sima Qian, and to ancient Greece to assist Archimedes, enduring numerous hardships to collect "Wisdom Energy." During their journey, Ling Xiaobu exposes Lin Yuan, who has been possessed by the Devouring Energy, and helps Captain Cherry defend the academy against the invasion. Ultimately, he grasps the historian's spirit of "writing the truth without fear or favor," learning to balance upholding truth with respecting history, and grows into a future warrior guarding the spark of civilization.
