Three thousand years after the end of the Dharma, the spiritual energy is exhausted, the slaves are rampant, the Taoist mind is in tribulation, and all living beings are trapped. The truth behind the collapse of the ancient immortal sect has been buried by the years. The shackles of rules left by the imbalance of heaven have turned every monk's obsession into a chasm of life and death - those who explore will advance, and those who fail will become slaves who slaughter living beings. No one can be immune to this alone.
He is Jiang Yan, an ancient immortal who hid in the secular world. He gave up his immortal bones and returned to the mortal world in a mortal body, just to make up for the regrets of the past and reshape the order of heaven. He can see through people's hearts, but cannot hide his compassion; he has a destiny, but he is unwilling to be bound by shackles. Under the appearance of laziness and casualness, he secretly arranges a chess game to connect a group of people who are bound by obsession.
Fragments of the ancient Taoist heart are scattered in all directions, the millennium layout has emerged, and the truth about the remnants of Tiandao has been revealed layer by layer. When fate and choice collide, divinity and humanity are intertwined, some people sacrifice their souls, some people overcome their obsessions, and some people leave silently. All roads return to the ruins, and the ruins hide the heart. The so-called great road is never about ascending to immortality, but about awakening in obsession, redemption in sacrifice, and finding the true destination deep in the heart.
