Su Mu was the gatekeeper of a dilapidated earth temple at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. He lived in poverty and embarrassment: he received a zero-yuan allowance from the Kyushu Guardian Alliance for seven consecutive months, smoked cheap and inferior cigarettes, had only a hundred yuan in cell phone balance, and even his meager salary was often in arrears. The nine-tailed fox blood flowed in his body, which was so thin that it almost disappeared. In the eyes of outsiders, he was just a loser who had accomplished nothing.
The peaceful and abject life was broken late one night. A corpse was discovered under the old locust tree behind the temple. A third-level soul eater attacked him, forcing him to the edge of life and death. At the moment of death, the bloodline of the nine-tailed sky fox, which had been sleeping for twenty-four years, was completely awakened. The golden fox tail cut through the night sky, and the alarm bell that had been dusty for eighty years sounded. A shocking secret is revealed: he is not a loser, but the only perfect fox in the past three hundred years who can awaken to the nine-tailed form.
But this awakening is not a gift, but a heavy curse. The entire Zhang family was wiped out, the Yaowang Valley's spiritual veins were contaminated, the Miao Gu King disappeared, forty-nine seal nodes were broken one after another, and catastrophe swept across. Su Mu was forced to hold the Sky Fox Order and became the last leader of the southwest branch of the Guardian Alliance, facing the ancient evil god "Eclipse" directly.
Under the pressure of the crisis of destruction, the betrayal of loved ones, and the countdown to his lifespan, Su Mu struggled between protection and sacrifice while fighting against evil gods and the evil of human nature. When people around him leave one after another, can he break the fate of sacrifice and find a third way out without sacrifice?
