During the Jiajing period, the academic field was dark. Although Gu Cixin, a country scholar, was knowledgeable and had excellent understanding, he failed in repeated examinations because he had no background and found it difficult to learn. After failing the exam for the last time, he ran out of money on his way back home and almost starved to death in Huangling. In a desperate situation, he accidentally came into contact with cultivating immortals, so he gave up the imperial examination and embarked on the path of spiritual enlightenment. Relying on his superior understanding, he practiced diligently and finally broke down the barriers of the world. However, he was shocked to find that the world he lived in for the first half of his life was just the "World Pearl" in the hands of a sloppy old man. After entering the "Three Thousand Great Worlds", he narrowly escaped death in an environment surrounded by alien races and full of dangers. He eventually grew into a leader of the human race, leading his people to attack the alien races and gain a foothold.
