Jiang Chen, a young man from a border town, suffers from "blocked profound veins" and is unable to practice and suffers all kinds of humiliation. In a desperate situation, he accidentally blood-stained a bronze longitudinal mask from ancient ruins, and his fate suddenly changed.
Unable to sense spiritual energy, he actually drew a completely different kind of mysterious power from it. The mask gives him the "bronze eyes" that can penetrate illusions. While it brings power, it also comes with a terrifying price: crazy whispers ringing in his ears, bronze rust spreading on his body, and emotions that tend to become cold. He is forced to embark on a thorny path that walks on the edge of power and madness.
This mask is the key to unlocking a shocking secret. The ancient and mysterious Sanxingdui civilization is not a legend. It was once glorious in this world. Its sudden disappearance is not a fall, but a price paid for civilization in order to seal an indescribable old ruler of the starry sky. Nowadays, the seal is gradually weakening, and the "weird power" has reappeared in the world.
Jiang Chen's awakening instantly drags him into the center of a huge storm: the traditional immortal sect that regards him as a heretic and evil spirit and wants to get rid of him quickly; the fanatical organization "Taotie" who attempts to seize all ancient Shu relics and sacrifice everything to awaken the ancient gods; and the secret-keeping remnants who have complicated emotions towards him, the "Chosen One".
He must pursue the fragments of civilization, go deep into dangerous ancient ruins, interpret the runes of the sacred tree, and face the fear of the abyss. In the strange fog, the truth about the fall of ancient Shu is revealed, and the final fate of the two worlds is decided.
