Lin Yuan spent a hundred years cultivating in the Immortal Realm, only to be struck by the Nine Heavens Tribulation just as he was about to ascend. He is reborn at the scene of his death. He discovers that he is the reincarnation of an ancient godslayer, and that the worlds of the present day and the Immortal Realm are quietly beginning to overlap.
After returning to the city, Lin Yuan discovers that his apartment is a nexus connecting the Three Realms: the bathroom mirror is a rift in space and time leading to the Immortal Realm, and his freezer holds ancient mystic ice capable of freezing time. Stranger still, the Supernatural Administration has its eye on him, because his “death” has sent ripples through the threads of causality across all of eastern China.
As his memories return, Lin Yuan discovers that the car accident years ago was actually an ascension trial, and that the person hunting him is none other than a close friend from his days in the Immortal Realm a hundred years ago. A nine-tailed fox in a convenience store, agents from the Supernatural Administration, hidden sentries from ancient martial arts clans... All kinds of factions are searching for the godslayer.
As the laws of the Immortal Realm collide with modern technology, as a close friend becomes a mortal enemy, and as the truth overturns everything he knows, Lin Yuan must find the answers before space and time collapse: Who is folding time? Can the godslayer's fate be rewritten? And what does it all have to do with the chunk of mystic ice in his freezer?
