In the ancient times when the heaven and earth first opened, the human and divine worlds coexisted, and they were supposed to perform their respective duties and coexist harmoniously. However, Heavenly Dao relies on its supreme authority and acts arbitrarily. It regards human beings as humble ants, controlling the fate of mortals at will, causing natural and man-made disasters at every turn, causing the destruction of all living beings. In the divine world, the gods are nothing more than puppets of heaven. They are bound by it and work as an aide. Both the human and divine realms are plunged into endless darkness and suffering.
Young Chen Jiuben is an ordinary villager in Luoxia Village, West Desert. He lives with his sister Chen Ling, and their life is poor but peaceful. But a sudden turn of fate occurred. Because Chen Ling was born with spiritual veins, he was judged as an "abnormal" by heaven. One day, purple-black sky thunder descended with a crash, and the golden-armored heavenly soldiers walked over the clouds like menacing menace, ruthlessly announcing that Luoxia Village was harboring aliens with spiritual veins and should be destroyed. In an instant, the village was plunged into a sea of flames, and the screams of the villagers could not be heard. Chen Jiu watched helplessly as his sister was struck by lightning and instantly turned into ashes. His parents were also slaughtered by the heavenly soldiers. His left shoulder was pierced by the gunfire of the heavenly soldiers, and he was on the line between life and death.
The grief-stricken Chen Jiu woke up among the ruins, with the flame of hatred burning in his heart. At this time, the fragments of his sister's spirit bones shimmered, and the faint whisper of her remnant soul was heard, which made Chen Jiu even more determined to take revenge on Heaven. Next to the charred corpse of the village school teacher, he found the remaining pages of the "Ancient Miscellaneous Notes" which recorded that "the Netherworld has its own laws and can resist the power of heaven", and resolutely embarked on a journey to the Netherworld.
In the ghost market in the Yin and Yang world, Chen Jiu met Ye Li, the ghost master of the underworld. Ye Li saw the extraordinary power of the spiritual bone fragments and offered to help him enter the netherworld, but Chen Jiu needed to help him find the "past" deep in the blood sea.
