Demons and beasts once roamed the land of Shenzhou, until the human ancestors carved a path through the wilderness and ushered in a golden age.
Later, human cultivators continued ascending to the Upper Realm. A million years ago, a mighty human cultivator ascended, only to be killed by the cultivators there. That day, blood stained the heavens red.
From then on, no cultivator ever ascended again. As time passed, high-level cultivators grew more and more numerous.
The world of Shenzhou began expanding and devouring the worlds around it. One small world after another was absorbed and merged, raising Shenzhou's rank ever higher. The cultivators of Shenzhou grew stronger too, and immortality was no longer an impossible dream.
Wang Song, a former street punk in his previous life, was dumped on the continent of Shenzhou by his own uncle.
Mad and righteous, he gradually uncovers the truth about the world, only to discover in the end that the villain is himself.
