In the age of the Primordial World, Lin Changsheng is reborn as one of the weakest members of the Qi-Eater Tribe. Thanks to memories of his previous life, he obtains the Longevity Scripture of Fortune and begins accumulating fortune in the humblest way possible.
From the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors through the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, he wanders the margins of history as an ordinary man, witnessing the transition from the age of myth to human civilization and gradually mastering the basics of cultivation.
During the Shang and Zhou period, he is unexpectedly caught up in the Investiture of the Gods campaign. Despite his meager cultivation, he survives the schemes of the Sages and obtains his first innate spiritual treasure, the Time Pearl, which grants him the ability to accelerate time for cultivation.
He uses the Time Pearl to lay plans during Qin Shi Huang’s quest for immortality, establishing his first cultivation sect, the Longevity Temple, and deliberately influencing the course of history to gain fortune.
As spiritual energy declines through the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, he is forced underground. He establishes the modern-day Longevity Group to maintain his cultivation resources while searching for a way to bring about a spiritual qi revival.
In 2023, strange celestial phenomena herald a spiritual qi revival. With various factions stirring into action, Lin Changsheng, hidden away for five thousand years, finally has a chance to break through, only to discover that an even greater conspiracy is brewing.
