When the war of the gods tore the sky apart, in order to protect the common people, the gods of China chose the most tragic exit-burning out their divine power and turning into a majestic "monument that towers over the sky and the earth", sealing the flames of war with themselves. Since then, all gods have disappeared from the land of China.

> Lin Zhi, an ordinary person who should be insulated from the extraordinary, in an accident, used his left eye to sign a life-and-death contract with Zhong Kui, an ancient being in the Netherworld who was famous for his toughness and killing evil. He became a "messenger of gods" walking in the world, but he was burdened with the power of gods that had long since disappeared in China.

The left eye burning with the fire of the netherworld is his only weapon to kill evil spirits and fight against the gods and demons of foreign lands.

When the armies of gods and demons from all over the world came to the city, Lin Zhi's left eye ignited the eternal fire of karma and roared:

> "Although there are no gods in China, there is me, Lin Zhi! This eye can kill gods!"
