The King of Hell has vanished, Lady Meng has escaped, the underworld is in chaos, and ghosts roam the night. The people suffer as wars erupt and the land falls into misery. Buddhism flourishes while Taoism declines. There is no peace for the living, and the dead have nowhere to go.
After suffering one setback after another, the scholar Lu Li chooses suicide to defy his unjust fate. But the mysterious woman Meng Qian does everything in her power to bring him back to life. Reborn, Lu Li sees through the mysteries of life and death. He inherits the mantle of Celestial Master, exorcises ghosts and vanquishes demons, brings blessings to the mortal world, restores his Taoist sect, returns to the underworld, takes charge of the nether realm, and becomes the new King of Hell.
