In the Ghost King Sect, where the weak prey on the strong, outer disciple Tantai Jinmie is like an ant, and may be turned into a ghost servant at any time. His natal soul was extremely weak and was regarded as the laughingstock of the sect. In a conspiracy against him, he is forced into a desperate situation and is on the line between life and death. On the verge of death, he awakens an unprecedented strange talent - he can summon another "self".
These "selfs" are the projections of his death in countless parallel time and space and countless reincarnations. There is the soul of a swordsman who became crazy about practicing swords, but died of betrayal; there is the soul of an alchemist who uses alchemy to reach the gods, but died in a furnace explosion; there is the soul of a spellcaster who is proficient in mysterious spells, but died of backlash...
Every "ghost" is his failed life.
Now, these losers will become his ladder to reach the top. Tantai Jinmie controlled his thousands of "ghost shadows", and in this eerie sect, he uncovered the conspiracy step by step, devoured powerful enemies, and walked towards the throne of the supreme ghost king. He wants everyone to know that the Lord of all ghosts is always only him.
