Wei Shengchen was a mortal who died unexpectedly in troubled times, but found the "Anti-eclipse Scripture" in an ancient immortal bone. This sutra does not allow him to reach heaven in one step, but only allows him to fall down the food chain from life to life, and reincarnate all the way from ants, mantises, moon frogs, black snakes, red foxes, goshawks, snow wolves, white tigers, and sea dragons. Relying on wisdom, forbearance and practice, he survives until the end of his life surrounded by countless natural enemies.
Every time he lived, he took away a life mark, an instinct, and a memory that was closer to the truth of heaven and earth. When he finally became a human again, he discovered that the so-called Immortal Cultivation Sect and Ascension to Immortal Court were actually just a link in a larger food chain. It turns out that all spirits are bait and all realms are circles.
