In the third year of the Zhenguan era, Emperor Taizong of Tang appoints Li Jing commander of the expeditionary forces and sends him north with an army of one hundred thousand to conquer the Turks.
Just as nine stars align, he transmigrates to the Netherworld, a place of terrifying zombies, the bloodthirsty Cain, human martial artists, and powerful fate masters. As his adventure deepens, Li Jing gradually lifts the veil of mystery surrounding the Netherworld.
The secrets hidden in the darkness grow more shocking with every revelation. Each of his decisions is like a stone thrown into a lake, sending ripples outward. They could change the fate of the Netherworld, and determine whether he can return home.
On this fantastical and challenging journey, Li Jing is destined to write another legendary chapter of his own and become an undying hero of the Netherworld.
