In the 372nd year of Xuanyuan in the Cangwu Realm, during the Wangchuan River Crossing during the Zhongyuan Festival, Su Yan was trapped in a death cycle because of a "reincarnation jade" unearthed from an ancient tomb - every night, he would die in the sacrificial ceremony of the black-robed wizard Zhu Xuanye, and the next day at dawn, it would restart on the eve of the Zhongyuan Festival.
The Samsara Jade awakens the power of "Soul Seal", allowing him to unlock unique seals such as "Reincarnation Prediction" and "Yin Sense" every time he dies, and use his soul to carve the rules of the world. After encountering Qingqiu's legacy Luo Li, he learned that there was a shocking secret hidden for three hundred years behind the cycle: Xuan Ye awakened the sealed ancient spirit fox Cangyuan for revenge, and once Cangyuan's evil thoughts appeared in the world, the three worlds would become purgatory.
Using reincarnation as a chess piece and the soul seal as a blade, Su Yan made repeated trials and errors in the mist of Wangchuan River, the old site of Qingqiu, and the secret realm of Kunlun, collecting seals, deciphering secrets, and instigating rebellion against allies. He not only has to fight against Xuan Ye's evil magic and Tianyan Sect's hypocritical pursuit, but also has to resolve Cang Yuan's thousand-year resentment, and he also has to face the loss of soul and memory loss caused by the cycle.
Restarting again and again, getting closer to the truth again and again, this redemption at the cost of reincarnation will finally usher in the ultimate showdown at the Zhongyuan Festival - to break the cycle, balance the three realms, or to perish with evil thoughts?
