On the streets and in the alleyways of Nanzhou City, Lin Feng is just a food delivery rider making his way through everyday life. His expression is gentle, and within his fingertips lies a tender lotus flame no one knows about. He keeps to a peaceful, ordinary existence, unaware that he was once the original source of the lotus fire that burned itself away to protect heaven and earth.
When the Xugui break through the boundary and filthy qi sweeps across the land, the world falls into an age of countless calamities. His ordinary routine is torn apart, and the power hidden within him is finally awakened. As murderous shadows devour people and the tainted tide corrodes the world, Lin Feng sheds his delivery uniform. The lotus flame gathered in his palm blazes to life. Making his body a torch, he joins forces with A Chen, a cultivator of the Dao of Balance, gathering the strength of every living being’s mortal heart to resist the calamity caused by the source of the Xugui.
From the lanes of the mortal world to the vault of the nine heavens, from delivering hot meals to staining the skies with blood, he crushes the tainted tide and burns away the murderous shadows. Guided by the lotus in his heart, he protects the lotus core of heaven and earth, shatters the Xugui crystal core, and seals the endless haunted abyss. Life and death hang in the balance; protection is etched into his very bones. Golden-red lotus flames spread across the sky, cleansing the world of its tainted qi and finally restoring peace to heaven and earth and safety to all living beings.
The great calamity ends, but the lotus flame still burns. Lin Feng returns to the mortal world and puts on his delivery uniform once more, traveling through the morning light and evening shadows of Nanzhou City. He conceals his strength amid the bustle of daily life and gathers the lotus flame at his fingertips. In ordinary times, he is a delivery rider who keeps to the rhythms of daily meals and changing seasons; when danger strikes, he becomes the guardian of the lotus flame, protecting all living beings. The lotus in his heart burns forever, and his watch never ends. Whenever heaven and earth are in danger, he will ride the flames once more to protect the everyday lives of the people and guard these vast lands.
