Ten thousand years ago, the golden age of the immortal path collapsed. All those who had ascended vanished overnight, the laws of Heaven became incomplete, and the path of cultivation lost all hope of ascension.
Lu Chen is a young man with a crippled meridian system, cast aside by his family. As he hovers on the brink of death, he unexpectedly merges with a mysterious fragment of a world, a remnant corner of the ancient Immortal Realm. The fragment contains not only long-lost primordial cultivation techniques, but also a shocking secret: the so-called “fracture in the Heavenly Dao” was no natural disaster. It was caused by people.
Meanwhile, Gu Hanyuan, a true disciple of the greatest sword sect of the age, is possessed by a bizarre demon while secluded in cultivation and attempting to form a Golden Core. After fighting back at the cost of his life, he discovers a memory in his mind that does not belong to this era: a thousand years from now, the immortal path will be utterly extinct, and the whole world will become a lifeless “Tomb of the Dao.”
Two young men from entirely different backgrounds: one rises against the odds from the bottom, while the other treads carefully at the summit. Yet fate binds them together in a catastrophe capable of destroying all three realms.
When Lu Chen discovers that repairing the world's fracture requires him to burn as fuel, and the apocalypse foreseen by Gu Hanyuan begins to arrive ahead of time, they finally understand: all cultivators of this age are nothing more than “nourishment” for some being.
The path to immortality is severed. Who is harvesting all living beings from behind the scenes?
The gods are dead. Who is impersonating the cycle of the Heavenly Dao?
