The Eternal Night descended, and the Underworld collapsed. I died once, but got stuck between life and death as a “living dead.”
In the year 209 of the New Era, the Eternal Night ended, and spiritual qi revived.
There was no golden age of cultivation, only ghosts roaming the night.
Three-point-seven billion people died worldwide, and fewer than a billion survived.
I, Lin Yuan, died during the Eternal Night while protecting my younger sister.
But the Underworld had fallen and reincarnation had ended, leaving my soul with nowhere to go.
So I became a half-human, half-ghost “living dead”:
I have no heartbeat, and my wounds don't bleed, but I can see the “strange entities” that others can't.
