Based on ancient Chinese mythology, a world of immortality is constructed where "bloodline totem" and "star gravity" are intertwined. Different from the "Long Aotian" routine of traditional immortality novels, the protagonist of this book, Lin Yan, is a modern history graduate student with no talent for immortality. Due to the accidental triggering of the star-blood array pattern of the Sanxingdui bronze sacred tree, he traveled to the world of immortality based on "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Huainanzi".
The core of the story revolves around the "immortal and god prohibition" - after the ancient lich war, the immortal god monopolized the power of star blood and lied that "star blood devouring each other" would destroy the world, but in fact, it used mortal monks as a reserve of power. The protagonist Lin Yan relies on the persistence and rigor of historical research, starting from being a prisoner in the woodshed. In a desperate situation with no system, no grandfather, and no heroine, he relies on a handwritten mythological notebook and an archaeological compass to gradually uncover the truth about the Lich Tribulation and the conspiracy of the gods and gods.
The book does not have the thrill of changing one's fate against the will of heaven, only the struggle and perseverance of mortal monks: after absorbing Qi into the body for six years, his spiritual power is only one-half of the same level; when encountering monsters, he relies on topography and textual research knowledge to escape; his partner died tragically in his arms due to blood conflicts; in the end, even if he touches the truth, he can only protect the mortal village in the borderland of chaos at the cost of his regression in cultivation. Using the unique perspective of "examination-based cultivation of immortality", the author transforms mythological elements such as the blood sacrifice of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, the legend of the sharks in the Guixu Valley, and the star official puppets of the Tianting Ruins into tangible details of immortality cultivation, allowing readers to reexperience the mystery and cruelty of ancient myths while following the protagonist to survive.
