In an age when the Dharma has declined and the gods have vanished, cultivators and self-disciplined demon immortals have formed the Divine Arts Alliance, gradually granting ordinary mortals access to the “transmigration divine art.”
Ever since the first successful transmigration by an American from Connecticut in the late nineteenth century, more than a hundred years have passed, and over a hundred million transmigrated worlds have been created. Inevitably, some of them have been occupied by wicked demons and evil spirits seeking refuge, so the Divine Arts Special Task Force was formed.

Fa Xuanyi: The main plot thread and golden finger. At the end of the Song dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan, Buddhism and Taoism contended for supremacy. The Mongol governor of southern Mobei favored Buddhist followers and ordered Taoist priests to shave their heads and become monks. The Taoists’ humiliation and resentment gathered until their obsession turned demonic. Fa Xuanyi awakened in the twenty-first century of the Drama Era, intent on transmigrating back to the thirteenth century, at the end of the Song and the beginning of the Yuan, to debate the origins of Buddhism and Taoism once more, resolve his obsession, and attain a superior spiritual rank. But demon immortals are mighty under the moon and fear the sun. To move about in daylight, Fa Xuanyi must attach himself to a mortal.
Xiong Bu’er: A living System. Captain of Squad Three, Cave Unit, in the Divine Arts Special Task Force. Coveting the reward offered by the demon immortal Fa Xuanyi, he guides the immortal into attaching itself to the mortal He Miao so it can avoid the sun, then leads everyone in transmigrating to various worlds.
He Miao: A classics student and top-performing male lead. After the demon immortal Fa Xuanyi attaches itself to him, he becomes the second member of Squad Three, Cave Unit. But he uses every transmigration as an excuse to wander around on a sightseeing tour...
Lu Yuanming: A cultivator’s disciple with no interest in Taoist arts. An agent-like male lead and the third member of Squad Three, Cave Unit. He claims he is transmigrating to seek ancient immortal arts, but in truth he is off petting cats and walking dogs everywhere...
