In the Bingwu Year of the Horse, during a blood-moon night at a mass grave, Uncle Jiu finds an infant and names him Lin Tian.
Eighteen years later, Lin Tian awakens the “Myriad Heavens Zombie Daoist Supreme System” and learns that he has transmigrated into an uncanny world combining all of Uncle Jiu's zombie movies. The mystery surrounding a grave relocation in Ren Family Town, the church corpse outbreak in Jiuquan Town, the musical zombies of Teng Teng Town, and the battle over Xuan Kui in Gantian Town... Every classic story he remembers will become a deadly trial he must face himself.
His ordeal begins with Ren Weiyong turning into a zombie in Mr. Vampire, leaving Ren Fa's life hanging by a thread. Though he has the System, Lin Tian's cultivation is weak. He can only struggle to survive beneath the zombie's claws, relying on his hazy memories of the plot and what he has learned from Uncle Jiu. His pure yang blood saves Ren Fa, a copper coin sword wounds the black-haired zombie, and an array protects the charity cemetery. As he struggles to change the tragedies set in stone, he also attracts deeper hatred and greater danger.
Yet this world is far more than the movies suggest. What was the geomancy master really after twenty years ago? What connection does the Xiangxi corpse-driving tradition have to Lin Tian's origins? Undercurrents swirl within the Maoshan sect, cracks are appearing in the order of the underworld, and behind the System lies a shocking scheme devised by generations of Maoshan patriarchs: to nurture a “Daoist Supreme” capable of commanding yin and yang and ending the zombie calamity.
Setting out from Ren Family Town, Lin Tian will travel through Jiuquan, Teng Teng, Gantian, and beyond, experiencing every classic story, including The Zombie Family, Exorcist Master, Mr. Vampire II, and Vampire Expert. He uses merit as fuel and demons as whetstones, cultivating supreme Taoist arts and wielding treasures of yin and yang. From an inexperienced young Taoist to a true Maoshan successor, he goes on to establish the “Office for Harmonizing Yin and Yang,” end the zombie calamity among the living, ascend to godhood, and become the Zombie Daoist Supreme who commands yin and yang!
