The ruins of the fairy world, the nine realms are shattered, and the embers of the war are still not extinguished.
Tiangong City has a monopoly on the inheritance of pan arts. Ancient relics are hidden in the rotten soil. The tide of pan puppets passes through like a plague of locusts and devours all living things. Here, the law of the jungle is the only law. Low-level pan masters are just the "grain" for high-level people to feed pan insects. It is commonplace for pan insects to eat each other, sacrifice blood and essence, and refine dishes with souls.
Ye Jin was once the humblest disciple in Tiangong City. He was hunted by his master because he had an "ancient nest" that could accommodate all kinds of insects. When he was about to die, he swallowed his fellow disciples and fled into the mud. He started as a ninth-level "grey ant" on the mortal level, feeding insects with blood and fighting with his life: slaughtering the black market for spiritual liquid, attracting puppets for insect eggs, sacrificing hundreds of souls for forbidden arts, and even controlling allies and devouring powerful enemies, using the entire ruins of the Nine Realms as a stepping stone for him to reach the top.
He met the philistine black-market merchant Liu Ming, the violent Tao League thug Cao Man, the ruthless Tiangong City killer Fang Mian, and the poisonous dish master Su Ning with hidden selfish motives. These people may cooperate for profit, or turn against each other for survival, but they all became nourishment on his journey of dish refining due to Ye Jin's cold calculations.
When Ye Jin gradually uncovered the secrets of the "World Pan", he discovered that this thousand-year war between Pan and Pan was actually a prison set by the ancient Pan Immortal; and his pursuit of the position of "Pan Emperor" was just the beginning of the fate of "The Pan Master will eventually become the Pan Puppet".
The road of dish magic paved with blood and bones, the game between self-interest and the remaining humanity, can Ye Jin break the cycle of reincarnation and bring the ruins of the fairy world back to life? Or will he, at the peak of his power, become the monster he once hated most?
