Lin Xuan, who died in a fire during the Lich War, was unexpectedly reborn and returned to the prehistoric times before the Sanqing became a saint. He was even more fortunate to be accepted as a direct disciple by the leader of the Jie Cult, Tong Tian. But the joy was fleeting. He knew full well that Jiejiao would have a tragic ending in the Conferred Gods War, and his strong sense of crisis made him determined to pave a way to survive for himself.
From then on, he put away his sharp edge and devoted himself to practice while taking the initiative: he visited the Supreme Master with sincerity and won his favor with his unique insights into Taoism; he presented the carefully compiled "Essence of Formation" and won the approval of the arrogant original master; he went to the East China Sea to help the Dragon King solve problems, made friends with hidden great masters such as Zhen Yuanzi, and even treated the Two Saints of the West without leakage.
He worked step by step, weaving a network of relationships that covered the whole world. He was deeply trusted within Jiejiao and was praised as "the one who knows my best". However, he was also jealous of Duobao because he was too outstanding. When the Heavenly Court was attacked by demons, he stepped forward and relied on his connections and strength to resolve the crisis. He was praised by the Jade Emperor for "valuing friendship and justice."
The catastrophe of becoming a god is approaching. Lin Xuan holds the "talisman" of his network of connections. He not only wants to survive the catastrophe, but also changes his fate against the will of heaven, trying to reverse the fate of the Jiejiao's destruction, and walk out on his own legendary path on the magnificent stage of the prehistoric era.
