This novel tells the story of a low-level storyteller named "Yan Zhi" who inadvertently awakens the ability to perceive and speak the "true names" of all things. He has no system and no grandfather. His only golden finger is his extraordinary insight and logical thinking. In this world, "true name" is the underlying rule that constitutes the existence of all things. Knowing its name can affect its essence.
The exciting core of the story lies in the "information gap and dimensionality reduction attack". The protagonist, Yan Zhi, relies on his identity as a storyteller to travel among the three religions and nine streams, collecting information, observing world affairs, and deducing the "real names" and "flaws" of enemies, magic weapons, and even techniques from the smallest clues. While other monks are still struggling to gain spiritual power, the protagonist only needs to say a word to turn the indestructible magic weapon into mortal iron (real name: Decay), make the ferocious monsters as docile as cats (real name: Return to the Nest), and make the aloof and strong Taoist heart collapse (real name: Hypocrisy). The plot revolves around how the protagonist uses this power of "word spirit" to gradually uncover the secrets of the world's "real name" from a hunted fugitive, and joins forces with the heroine who can "draw" the form of the real name to fight against the mastermind who attempts to tamper with the foundation of the world and erase all "real names".
