Three thousand avenues, all of which can prove eternal life. This was once an unbreakable truth in the spiritual world.
But when Chen Wangshu finally opened the legendary door of heaven after enduring countless calamities, there was no fairyland behind the door, no divine light, only a huge skeleton lying across the end of nothingness - that was the corpse of "Tao".
The Tao he cultivated, the Dharma he believed in, and even the foundation for the operation of the entire world were long dead. What all sentient beings absorb is just the last remaining warmth that escapes from the corpse.
The Tianmen backfired, and at the moment when his soul was destroyed, he returned to his boyhood with a wisp of residual consciousness.
After resurrecting his life, Chen Wangshu no longer cares about the dead end that leads to the end. He would personally travel all over the mountains and seas, searching for the underworld, just to figure out one question:
Who killed Tao?
When everyone was rushing towards the false other side, he was the only one who chose the completely opposite path - going retrograde.
