When Li Xi wakes up, he has become a cracked clay statue of a local earth god in the cultivation game The Boundless Immortal Path, with no one left to worship him.
The shrine is about to collapse, the incense offerings have stopped, and all he has left is a wisp of a fading spirit and the players who are about to arrive.
So he uses incense offerings to post quests and the power of people's wishes to grant divine arts. He sends players to repair the ruined shrine, slay demons, patrol the waterways, find villagers' lost possessions, clear wrongful accusations, and record the names of forgotten souls. From the first stick of incense in Bluestone Village to the registry of ten thousand souls in Qinghe County, Li Xi gradually restores the divine order and brings this world, which everyone thinks is a game, truly to life.
However, as cracks occasionally appear in the sky and the so-called NPCs begin to have memories that cannot be reset, Li Xi gradually realizes that The Boundless Immortal Path may never have been just a game.
