[Spiritual qi revival and vengeful ghosts return; slow burn; a protagonist who grows stronger and turns dark later on, killing with abandon while always standing with humanity and Huaxia]
Bai Yi is terminally ill. Unwilling to live out the countdown to his death without dignity, he decides to buy a coffin and put his affairs in order.
But he discovers that the coffin he bought for just three hundred yuan can actually take him straight to Fengdu!
By burning paper ingots, Bai Yi can interfere with Fengdu's miniature world and wield powers beyond the comprehension of gods and ghosts!
With a casual wave, he can unleash the Buddha's Palm. Things he burns over become priceless treasures in the eyes of ghosts, and even the fake ginseng he buys turns into a rare medicinal herb!
In Fengdu's miniature world, a red-clad female ghost named Yiyi leaves behind a red-clad doll that seems to be anything but ordinary; an old ghost passes down the legacy of a netherworld constable to Bai Yi, but the image in his mind is of the underworld collapsing; people who died in the real world have also arrived in Fengdu's miniature world, and can even return to the living world...
In the real world, spiritual qi revival is underway. Animals mutate, and ghosts are quietly appearing. Most terrifying of all, nobody knows that vengeful ghosts can keep growing stronger. When powerful vengeful ghosts die, they can become strange beings that create rule-bound ghost domains and are immortal...
The nations of a world torn apart by internal strife suddenly realize in horror that ghost domains are everywhere, and the human world has become a living hell...
When a familiar voice calls your name from behind, will you answer? As you walk through the darkness, is there a path beside you that no human can tread? Is the reflection in the mirror really still you...?
The gods have vanished, the netherworld constables are gone, and spiritual qi has revived. Yet Longguo, the source of it all, has become the only pure land in a world of ghost domains?
Bai Yi: Beats me. I think I ran into something while delivering coffins as a side job. I thought it was a speed bump!
