The protagonist, Lin Zhan, was once the top soldier of China's Dragon Special Forces. He died during a mission to protect the Imperial Jade Seal, and his soul transmigrated to the Tianyuan Realm. Through sheer willpower and Chinese ingenuity, he rose to become the Immortal Venerable of Ten Thousand Battles, the pinnacle of the cultivation world. When he failed his tribulation, he unexpectedly brought his past-life memories and a fragment of China's national spirit with him, reborn in a modern city. But he soon discovered that spiritual energy had returned to the world, and he was immediately conscripted under the codename “Returnee.”
