The mighty cultivator Chu Xinghe falls while undergoing tribulation and is reborn with the ancient treasure, the Nine Tribulations Reincarnation Pagoda, on the eve of the spiritual qi revival. In this life, he wields an innate Chaos Spirit Root and steps onto a causal chessboard where he can foresee the future, vowing to reverse the fate of the Three Realms’ collapse. From awakening the fox demon Bai Li at the site of the imperial fengshan ceremony on Mount Tai, to opening the Heavenly Gate with his sword and confronting the Immortal Court’s crimes and punishments; from refining the tombstones of ancient gods and demons, to kindling the human race’s flame and rebuilding the civilization of cultivation, Chu Xinghe gradually discovers that the so-called spiritual qi revival is actually the mournful cry of the Immortal Realm as it falls. Behind the System’s cold tasks lies the blood-soaked obsession of the first Human Emperor. When the Netherworld’s Yellow Springs flood into the mortal realm and Bai Li burns her essence to reveal her true form as a Heavenly Stone, Chu Xinghe must carve out a bloody path that even the Heavenly Dao never imagined, choosing between saving all living beings and protecting the one he loves.
