Cong Ziyi, fifty-seven years old, is a down-and-out businessman in the wasteland. He is accidentally bound to the "Inheritance Cultivation System" - a curse that requires him to find ancient inheritance to extend his life. He practiced the "Sun and Moon Zhao Zhao Jue", entered the spiritual path through business, and made a living by reselling karma crystals in the wasteland. However, due to a transaction, he was involved in a conflict between the archaeological monks and the reform historian. In order to survive, he embarked on a journey through the spiral of disaster. In the pollution layer, he met Bai Zhi, a girl who claimed to be the "karma liquidator". She carried the Nine Nether Soul-Eating Flags and could see the causal lines of others; in the purification layer, he met Lu Chenzhou, a truth-seeker who had been imprisoned for thousands of years. He had mastered the fragments of the Taichu Yuanshi Formation.
Cong Ziyi discovered that each layer of the spiral of disaster sealed a tampered history, and that his inheritance system was actually left by the ancient business giant "Priceless True Man", aiming to balance cause and effect with the scale of karma. He must collect seven layers of inheritance and rebuild the Taichu Yuanshi Formation in order to prevent the "collapse of cause and effect" - a cosmic-level karmic backlash that is about to erupt due to historical distortion. In the reincarnation level, he faced off with "Murphy", the leader of the revolutionary historian, and found that the opponent was actually his causal body from his previous life. In the end, Cong Ziyi used Jingwei's reclamation technique to fill the abyss of cause and effect, and realized the Hunyuan Holy Body in a priceless realm, allowing the pagoda to return to the self-consistent order of cause and effect.
