Shen Yan is the most incompatible existence in the immortal world - others are cultivating spiritual roots and fighting for spiritual veins, but he carries a Luoyang shovel and testing equipment to dig out various "immortal tombs and monuments". During archaeological investigations, he exposed the lies that had been circulating for thousands of years in the fairy world: the so-called fairy mountains shrouded in fairy energy were giant spaceships left behind by the interstellar civilization of the previous era; the spiritual power that monks relied on to practice was the nuclear radiation leaked from the spacecraft; the road to ascension that was sought after by everyone was just a ticket to gain access to the dormant cabin.
When Shen Yan dug up the key to the main control room in the Jingshan Mountains, the fate of the entire fairy world was in his hands. The information from the key is cruel and contradictory: the cooling system of the spacecraft is on the verge of collapse, which will trigger a global nuclear explosion within a hundred years; and the survivors of the last era in the dormant cabin have long been alienated by radiation, and restarting the spacecraft will release world-destroying monsters.
On the one hand, it is the determination to format the spaceship and put an end to lies, but it triggers the collapse of the immortal order; on the other hand, it is the risk of repairing the cooling system, fighting for life, but having to face the dilemma of alienated monsters and sects. The various sects coveted the power of the key and pursued him. Only Xuan Jizi, the elder of Kunlun who knew the truth, was willing to join forces with him.
Shen Yan dismantled the puzzle of civilization with the calmness of an archaeologist, and dealt with the immortals and demons with a mortal body. He not only has to search for repair parts in the dormant area of Kunlun Ruins, but also has to resist the sneak attacks of alienated monsters and evil cultivators. He also has to make the final judgment between the survival of civilization and moral choices. This exploration that began with archeology will ultimately determine whether the fairy world will be reborn or return to dust.
