The way of heaven collapsed, the calamity of returning to the Yuan Dynasty came, and the countdown was eighty-one days. Li Xuance, the imperial master of the Imperial Palace, discovered the secrets of heaven and searched for the eight successors of Jiuyao who were scattered in the world: the prince of the subjugated country, the saint of southern Xinjiang, the iron wall general, the successor of the organization, the gangster commander, the peerless piano player, the stupid beggar, and the sick bachelor. The identities of the nine people are very different, each with a secret destiny and bloody past, and they are forced to form an alliance amid suspicion and crisis.
As ancient artifacts appear one after another, the truth that has been hidden for 3,600 years emerges: the so-called heavenly catastrophe is actually the backlash of the failure of the first generation Jiuyao's "refining the sky". And the only survivor, Li Xuance, walked alone for three thousand years bearing the name of "traitor", just to find a new path that "doesn't sacrifice anyone." However, the biggest conspiracy has just been revealed - the former master is the real mastermind behind the scenes.
At the top of Kunlun, in a desperate situation, Jiu Yao faces the final choice: sacrifice the people to repair the way of heaven, or find another way? They gave the third answer - using themselves as a bridge to connect the world and the people. The piano master turned into a bridge, and the national master's burning tail became a thread. Everyone contributed their efforts to build a "ladder to heaven" across the sky.
The era of cultivating immortals ends here, and the era of humanity begins. Although the physical body of the hero has passed away, his spirit has turned into an immortal fire and will be passed down forever in the hearts of every mortal who comes forward.
"Even if this body is destroyed, this heart will be passed on forever."
