What will happen when myths become real history?
The young Chen Shi was born with a pair of "Traceback Eyes" that let him see the "past" of ancient artifacts.
During an archaeological dig in Shennongjia, he unexpectedly hears a cry for help from an immortal dating back five thousand years.
After a mysterious assassination attempt, Chen Shi is transported by a jade shard to another planet, where he inherits the legacy of the Ziwei Emperor.
To return home and uncover the truth behind the disappearance of the immortals, Chen Shi embarks on the path of cultivation.
Starting in Zixuan, he explores Yaoguang, enters the Big Dipper, ventures into the starry sky, and makes his way toward the Milky Way. Along the way, he encounters countless vestiges of figures from myths and legends: the Ziwei Emperor, the Fire God Zhurong, the Water God Xuanming, the Metal God Rushou, the Wood God Jumang... At last, he returns to his homeland, gradually uncovers the truth behind the immortals' disappearance, and prevents an apocalypse among the stars.
