This book tells the story of how the Crown Prince of the Southern Ming pawns the dynasty's dragon vein, provoking Heaven and Earth to strike back. The greedy pawnshop owner Mo San extracts the dragon vein, unleashing a catastrophe of epic proportions and plunging himself into the abyss. After undergoing a baptism in the Guixu, he mutates into the Abyssal Lord, coldly driven by the need to survive. Hunted by the netherworld, coerced by creditors, and watched by a sinister third party, he uses the power he has stolen to navigate between competing forces. But he unexpectedly discovers, at the bottom of the abyss beneath the storeroom, the truth behind a cold observation beyond human understanding and an ancient pact.
