The story takes place in a modern city in 2026 and a parallel ancient dynasty in the last years of the "Dayan". In the modern world, science and technology are advanced, but spiritual energy is thin, and personal practice has been reduced to legend. In ancient times, Dayan was in troubled times, warlords were divided, and the people were in dire straits, but they retained a rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth and a martial arts heritage. The core connecting the two worlds is a space-time rift located in a dry well deep in the mountains of Shen Mo's hometown. After the well water dries up, a mysterious vortex is revealed, which can transmit modern items to ancient times, and can also receive tributes and incense wishes dropped by ancient times. With the interaction between Shen Mo and Liu Ruyan, there are subtle differences in the flow of time between the two worlds (one day in modern times, three months in ancient times), and the power of incense and aspiration is essentially a kind of faith energy that can temper the physical body and open the spiritual roots. When Liu Ruyan unified the world in ancient times and established the state religion, the whole country worshiped Shen Mo as the "Heavenly Master". The continuous power of faith finally helped him break the shackles of the mortal body and achieve ascension in the daytime. But ascension is not the end. Shen Mo gained the ability to travel through time and space, returned to ancient times, brought Liu Ruyan back to the present, and lived in seclusion in the Kunlun secret realm. The core conflict in the worldview lies in: the collision between modern scientific and technological rationality and ancient superstition and divine authority, as well as the binding relationship between personal cultivation and national destiny.
