The story takes place in Tianyuan Realm, a vast world with numerous immortal sects and abundant spiritual energy. However, deep in the rift of the abyss sleeps the "ancient gods" - indescribable existences of chaos. With destruction and disorder as their will, they erode the minds of mortals and give birth to "servants of gods" who threaten the common people.
The protagonist Lin Yuan, an ordinary young man from a remote mountain village, breaks into the rift of the Tianyuan due to the disappearance of his sister Lin Wan. He accidentally obtains the "Pupil of Xuyuan" and awakens the bloodline of chaos. This power greatly increased his strength, but it also brought about the curse of mental collapse, with constant whispers in his ears and haunted by phantoms. In order to find his sister, he joined the Qingyun Sect, started as a handyman in the outer sect, and got involved in the whirlpool of sect fighting and the conspiracy of the ancient gods. On the way, he met Su Yao, the saint of Tianxuan Sect. She was cold and arrogant and used "Tianyin Technique" to suppress Lin Yuan's bloodline and went berserk. The two joined hands to fight against fate.
The story focuses on Lin Yuan's growth. During his transformation from a mortal to an immortal cultivator, he gradually reveals the truth about the Tianyuan world: the ancient gods are not external enemies, but part of the origin of the world. The demon cultivator Master Xuanye wants to awaken the "Lord of Tianyuan". The top leaders of the sect are hiding a conspiracy. Lin Wan may have become a servant of God. Lin Yuan is faced with the choice of "salvation or destruction".
