College student Zhou Yan accidentally touches a black stele carved with strange runes and glimpses gods and demons treating all living things as mere playthings, while Heaven's Way uses all living beings as pieces on a chessboard. He witnesses lives being harvested at will, and the final struggle of one chosen by fate.
“You say Heaven's Way is impartial?” Cangming points his spear at the sky, standing amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. “Then let this ant ask on behalf of all living beings: is Heaven truly fair or not?”
He is then forced to transmigrate to the Primordial World. After his soul merges with Cangming, the man with blood-stained golden eyes, he goes through countless trials before realizing none of it was a coincidence: the survival of “two worlds” rests in the hands of “one person.”
This time, Cangming won't be alone. Will the ending be different?
