The secret arts of Lu Ban appear, and the world's order collapses!
Beneath the smoke-filled streets of a modern metropolis lurk ancient forces of death. When fragments of the Heavenly Works Manual, sealed away by Lu Ban, come to light, ordinary young man Lin Haoran is forced into a vortex of supernatural rivalries. The armies of the Ghost Domain slaughter cities, Nanyang gu sorcery devours souls, and a thousand-year-old mechanism beast awakens. Every page of the scattered manual is stained with blood. But his backbone will not break: "The chains of this world cannot bind a soul born to face death!"
Bearing an extreme yin curse and holding a fragmentary divine book System, he shatters his shackles:
Tempering a ruler with blood! He fuses the long-lost Art of Heavenly Works and Creation, forging with flesh and blood as his medium and an unyielding soul.
He storms the drug lords of the Golden Triangle, wipes out the demonic dens of northern Myanmar, and battles beasts from rifts to other worlds. A mortal body dares to fight gods.
- He transmigrates to the Spring and Autumn Period to face Lu Ban, the patriarch of artisans, and seize the Soul-Tempering Art of Creation. When he returns:
"I will defy Heaven with my life!"
The three volumes of the Heavenly Works books crumble to ashes, becoming a fire that consumes the world.
