The story takes place in the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty, with frequent natural disasters, tyrannical officials, the rise of the White Lotus Sect, and the decay of the imperial court. The young man Zhu Chongba (pseudonym Zhu Yuanzhang) suffered from a hidden lameness and was living in Fengyang begging for survival. Deep in the underground palace of Huangjue Temple, he came across the treasure of the previous dynasty - an ancient Buddha Vajra relic that contained the law of "Vajra is indestructible and the heart seal of all peoples". From then on, he no longer relied solely on flesh and blood to fight, but was able to condense his energy with the power of his will, build momentum with the voice of the people, and refine his supernatural powers with the light of his believers. The main plot revolves around his transformation from a refugee to a rebel leader and then to the founding hero: on the one hand, he uncovers the shocking conspiracy that his lameness was actually caused by an attempted poisoning when he was young; on the other hand, he uses "the people's heart is the destiny" as the foundation to shake the foundation of Yuan Ting's divine power in the dual dimensions of cultivation and secular power. In the end, he realized the holy way with his mortal body and controlled the world with his cloth.
