Hell has fallen, the boundary between Yin and Yang is broken, ghosts are raging in the world, and the once glorious civilization collapsed, leaving only nine giant cities lingering in the darkness. In this apocalyptic era, spiritual energy revives, secret realms reappear, and the forces of the three realms—the gods aloft, the evil spirits dormant underground, and the ancestors who protect the human race—each descend on their path of practice in an attempt to control this chaotic world.
The protagonist has been surviving in the ruins since he was a child, wandering on the edge of life and death as a "bone picker", but he does not know that the blood of the ghost king flows in his body. Through his exploration of the secret realm, he got acquainted with the successor of the ancestor of mankind, a rebellious and arrogant Taoist disciple, and the descendant of the God King, a cold-blooded and dull descendant of heaven. The three of them traveled together and traveled through the nine cities, uncovering the truth of the world through life and death experiences: the gods are not the saviors, but the masterminds behind the scenes. They broke through hell just to harvest the faith and fear of the world.
With the awakening of the ghost king's bloodline, the three of them broke up due to their different positions, and each embarked on a different path. However, when the gods' plan to destroy the world finally came, the former partners had to join forces again, gathering the last strength of humans and ghosts to launch the ultimate resistance to the gods. This is a war about survival and faith, and the protagonist must make a choice - to become a new god, or to completely break the shackles of reincarnation?
Dark cultivation + secret adventure + epic strategy, a grand legend about betrayal, redemption and destiny-changing.
