After transmigrating into the cultivation world, Song Zhu only wants to stay alive.
Her master won't let her slack off, taking her tomb-robbing to become a heretic cultivator. Instead, they unearth Lingxiao Sect's greatest secret: Ji Shixiao, the sect's heir, who faked his death.
Song Zhu is forced to become his "accomplice," struggling to survive as Lingxiao Sect hunts them down.
Then an opportunity comes along, sending her irrevocably down the heretical path.
Song Zhu: "My cultivation level just went up again. Why isn't there a heavenly tribulation?"
Ji Shixiao: "You're a heretic cultivator, following a heretical path. Why would there be a heavenly tribulation?"
The righteous sects treat her like refuse, and kill orders spread throughout the cultivation world. With her heretical bones, she devours demons and monsters, slays false immortals, and carves a bloody path through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, one no one else dares to take.
In the end, the Celestial Realm can no longer ignore her existence and takes her in.
Her origins trace back three hundred years, when the gods used the Spirit-Gathering Cauldron to create the Spirit-Gathering Goddess.
To seal the world-ending Demon King, the Immortal Realm sacrificed the goddess with their own hands.
Now the apocalypse has come again, and the gods look at her with the same familiar cruelty.
They expect Song Zhu to willingly walk to the sealing altar for a second time.
This time, she grips the Spirit-Gathering Cauldron in her hands. Will she repeat her fate and become the sacrifice that saves the world, or... bring down the Immortal Realm and choose another way to live?
