On a bloody night in a border town, the orphan Su Wang witnesses his parents' heart lamps being gouged out, and awakens to the world's only "wickless heart lamp" - the "fate-defying wick" that can condense calamity fire and condense it. This lamp is regarded as taboo by heaven and contains the secret key to subvert the thousand-year system of cultivating immortals.
Chu Yao, the saint of the Lingxian Sect, was born with the "eye of the sky lantern" and could not see through Su Wang's chaotic fire. However, she did not know that the "samsara wick" sealed in her body was used to resurrect him three hundred years ago, causing his soul to disperse. The encounter in this life is a trap of heaven and a redemption of reincarnation.
The blood curse of the Nether Sea of Blood spreads, and the Lingxian Sect Sky Lantern Monument predicts "extinguishing the lantern and attaining enlightenment." Su Wan and Chu Yao saw through the conspiracy to collect heart lanterns at the Ten Thousand Lanterns Conference, and awakened their past at the Reincarnation Pavilion ruins - the heart lantern system was actually the shackles of heaven's obsession to swallow up the world. The death of their parents caused the Lingxian Sect to be silenced, and the sect rules that Chu Yao abided by had long been reduced to a tool of control.
Su Wan pretended to be a demon and sneaked into the blood pool, fused the nine wicks to form the "World-Destroying Heart Lamp"; Chu Yao's blood lantern kept his eyes bright, and she carved thousands of words "Waiting for you" in the side hall. In the final battle, the way of heaven manifests into a "sea of lanterns", and every lantern is a prisoner of obsession. Su Wan burned the core of heaven with calamity fire, and Chu Yao sacrificed the wick of reincarnation as a guide to help him open a new path of "coreless spontaneous combustion".
The heaven and earth died for three days, and when they were rekindled, the fire of freedom rose in the palms of mortals, and demon cultivators existed as equals to humans. There are two wicks left in Su Wanxin's lamp, one engraved with Chu Yao and the other engraved with all living beings. On top of the ruins, they looked at the world without the shackles of the heart lamp - going against the world is never about extinguishing the lamp, but about letting every heart break free from obsession and ignite the light.
