Six hundred years ago, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect had gone 1,500 years without severing their Three Corpses. They fell into the calamity of worldly desires, and the punishment of slaughter came upon them. So Yuanshi Tianzun of the Chan Sect, Sect Master Tongtian of the Jie Sect, and Taishang Laojun of the Human Path used the Investiture of the Gods to deceive the rules of the Heavenly Dao and successfully weather the calamity of slaughter.
Six hundred years later, the calamity of slaughter descends once more. It is the end of the Western Zhou dynasty, and Guogong Gu offers the beautiful Baosi to the Son of Heaven.
The scene is strikingly similar to the final years of the Shang dynasty, during the reign of Di Xin. Yuanshi Tianzun, Sect Master Tongtian, and Taishang Laojun conclude that this calamity is closely tied to the fate of the Western Zhou.
At this moment, Zhong Yi, a 24-year-old man from Earth, transmigrates and takes over the body of the Son of Heaven, Ji Gongnie.
The court is full of treacherous and corrupt officials, especially Guogong Gu and Shen Hou.
Unwilling to be a puppet, Zhong Yi seeks to escape their control and clear his name as a tyrant.
As spiritual energy returns, the five great states of Qi, Song, Jin, Qin, and Chu use the excuse that "the Son of Heaven of Zhou is immoral and dotes on Baosi" to break away from Zhou's ancestral rites and cease recognizing the Zhou royal house as their sovereign.
