On the night of Jingzhe, when the bronze Gu altar cracked, he saw the truth of eighteen years ago.
Jiang Wuya, an abandoned baby in Miaojiang, made a living by feeding Gu since he was a child. However, on the night when the Blood Jade King Gu awakened, his master used a puppet Gu to push him down a vast underground river. When the crimson Gu mist eroded through the mirage cliff, the cobwebs and blue lines on his chest spread into an ancient totem - the saint who disappeared at the Gu God's festival twenty years ago was bleeding the same blood as him.
The soul-chasing post of the Central Plains swordsman, the heart-eating insect of the Black Miao priest, and the dragon-locking needle in the sleeve of the Xuantian Sect's secret guard are all forcing him to unlock the star map fragment in Yujue. And the thousand-year-old Gu worm parasitic in his spine was gnawing at his dreams every night: "Are you the vessel of the Gu God, or the new king who kills gods?"
During the lunar eclipse on the coffin cliff, Jiang Wuya crushed the last concentric Gu. He wanted those who used poison to control their fate to see how the body of the ghost that had been eaten away for eighteen years could swallow up the entire world.
