In the vast empire of cultivators, a hundred different schools pass down their traditions, but most cultivators depend on the power of the imperial court.
The story begins when Shi Ren, a junior company commander of the Divine Capital Guard, is accompanying Emperor Yong'an home in triumph and an assassin attempts to kill the emperor. The emperor orders Shi Ren to solve the case and capture every assassin.
Before junior company commander Shi Ren can solve the case, someone follows him on his way home. When he arrives, a dragon pearl strikes him dead, and his pursuer takes the opportunity to steal his three souls and seven spirits.
Unbeknownst to them, Shi Ren, a modern-day failure of a novel writer, transmigrates into the body of Shi Ren, a junior company commander of the Dragon Merchant Kingdom. To stay alive, he begins investigating the attempted assassination of the emperor.
An assassination attempt leads to the Demon Cult, and the Demon Cult brings a series of unbelievable events in its wake, until Heaven can no longer control the Dragon Merchant Kingdom and the Divine Capital Guard rebels against Heaven.
Let immortals, demons, ghosts, and gods all hear this: wherever the Divine Capital Guard of our Dragon Merchant Kingdom stands, anyone who dares to rebel against their superiors shall have their body slain and their soul destroyed.
