Over a mere verbal dispute, Li Feng is beaten to the brink of death by someone who seems like a protagonist. Just as he is about to die, the memories of his past life awaken, allowing him to cling to life with grim satisfaction.
Seeing what a failure he has become, his grandfather gives him the demon clan cultivation manual, The Fire Crow Record. It can transform the heart of the Dao and turn its practitioner into a demon, and his grandfather intends for him to cultivate it.
Li Feng seems destined for a hopeless life as a villain, but he refuses to accept that fate.
Fortunately, his cheat soon arrives: a mysterious ancient mirror of unknown origin takes him into the primordial world. With the mirror’s help, he earns merit by helping humanity build houses and kindle its first flame, while secretly stealing the primordial world’s source power.
The mirror can use source power to evolve any constitution or technique from any world. Without a second thought, Li Feng transforms his utterly ordinary constitution into the Solar Sacred Body from the Shrouding the Heavens world, and even evolves the matching Great Emperor scripture, the Solar True Scripture.
After taking the first steps toward reversing his fate and returning to his original world, Li Feng happens to learn some news that fills him with alarm.
After a protagonist defeats someone, their fortune is continuously stolen. To avoid becoming a stepping stone for the protagonist, Li Feng decides to find him and take back the fortune that belongs to him.
