After transmigrating into the shattered timeline that follows the end of The Outcast, Ling Xiao wakes up in a garbage dump and immediately sees Feng Baobao under attack. He binds to the mysterious System, “All Things Return to One,” which can analyze and combine the Eight Extraordinary Skills, but at the cost of burning precious emotional memories. He saves the innocent young woman, unaware that he has been drawn into a shocking conspiracy: the truth behind the Jiashen Turmoil has been twisted, and Feng Baobao's immortal body is the “perfect vessel” coveted by Duanmu Ying, the founder of the Twin Hands, who is using Lu Huan's body!
To protect Baobao, Ling Xiao makes a name for himself at the Luotian Grand Ceremony, searches for secrets in the Twenty-Four Valleys, and flees to Nason Island to resist the Ten Elders' siege. As All Things Return to One analyzes the Eight Extraordinary Skills, his power soars, while his emotions are gradually stripped away. When Baobao sacrifices her soul to restore his reason, when Zhang Chulan turns against him because of false memories, and when time rewinds to reveal the cruel truth, Ling Xiao discovers that he is the source of the Jiashen resurrection technique! His message to Wu Gensheng and Duanmu Ying's thousand-year obsession weave together into a deadly loop of cause and effect.
After thirty-six cycles of protecting her, the destined final battle finally arrives. Can Ling Xiao become a shield for Baobao and protect her soul, “as pure as yesterday”? In this world of outcasts torn apart by conspiracies, the amnesiac guardian and the eternal innocent will use “All Things Return to One” to rewrite the end. This time, she will protect him and grant him immortality.
