A rift appears in the starry cosmos, and an unprecedented green lotus emerges. By a twist of fate, Chen Mo is sucked into the rift and transmigrates into the Primordial Universe, landing on Three Immortal Island.
To pursue his dream of cultivating immortality, Chen Mo, without understanding the situation, sabotages himself by shamelessly begging Tongtian to take him as a disciple, joining the Jie Sect.
After joining the Jie Sect, Chen Mo thinks he can use his knowledge of the Primordial World's destiny to secure benefits for himself.
But once he learns more, he discovers that the Primordial World before him is all wrong. It's vastly different from the one he knows, and everything about it feels bizarre.
There was no calamity that shattered the world at its creation, no Three Thousand Chaos Gods, and no Pangu splitting heaven and earth to create all things. In fact, for a long time, the living beings of the Primordial World didn't even know someone called Pangu existed.
On top of that, Chen Mo encounters many figures in this Primordial World who seem to be famous people from Chinese history.
Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang, Xiang Yu the Hegemon-King, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, the Sword Immortal Li Bai, Emperor Taizu of Ming Zhu Yuanzhang, and Confucius, who won people over through virtue, among others.
The span runs from the Spring and Autumn period to the Ming dynasty, covering almost the entirety of Chinese history.
Even more ridiculous, the written language of the Primordial World is simplified Chinese, of all things. They call it innate Dao script.
After a being named Pangu appears, the creatures of the Primordial World begin choosing to take human form. What secret lies behind this?
Chen Mo: “They all say there are no locals in the Primordial World. Does that mean I'm not the first transmigrator? There are fellow countrymen here!”
