Lin Yue, a young man from the modern world, is unexpectedly swept into a temporal turbulence by a particle collider. His soul falls into primordial chaos, where he arrives just as Pangu creates the world and awakens the Myriad Things Devouring System.
From the dawn of the prehistoric world, he devours fragments of laws amid the ruins of chaos. At the Zixiao Palace, he secretly glimpses the mysteries of primordial origins; at the Cliff of Treasure Distribution, he obtains the Spirit-Devouring Ring. Step by step, he proceeds with caution, tempering himself through the Great Dao of Devouring.
From profiting as a bystander during the first calamity of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans to enduring the blood and fire of the calamity of the Wu and demon clans; from witnessing Nuwa create humanity and Fuxi devise the trigrams to discussing the Dao with the Three Pure Ones and fighting alongside the Ancestral Witches, he hides the remnant spirit of Hongyun and plants the seed of his return. Amid the dust of the Wu and demon clans' fall, he glimpses the truth behind the prehistoric world's cycle of reincarnation.
When Wukong is born, he splits off an avatar to accompany him, watching the stone monkey cause havoc in Heaven and storm the underworld. On the journey west, he exposes the Buddhist sect's schemes and helps Wukong break free of his shackles. In the end, Wukong storms Spirit Mountain and proves the unfettered Great Dao of Battle.
Yet behind it all, the figure of Dao Ancestor Hongjun appears and disappears. Calamities are trials, Saints are pawns, and so-called destiny is merely a plan to resist the Chaos Demons
