In the last years of Dayin, Kyushu collapsed.
Aristocratic families fight in temples, iron cavalry in vassal towns tear apart the soil, clans in the south of the Yangtze River are divided, and troubled times are raging like a prairie fire.
Everyone says that the rise and fall of troubled times are all destiny.
But no one knows that the eternal wars in the world, the joys and sorrows of life and death of all people, are just a chess game for the Nine Heavens Immortal Court to harvest their luck.
When Gu Qingzhou entered the world, he had a cold-hearted nature and watched the ups and downs with a cold eye.
He saw the intrigues and deceitfulness of the court, the end of Xiliang's heroes, the hypocrisy of the Jiangnan clan, and the common people struggling to survive in troubled times.
He was originally an outsider, not caring about the collapse of the prosperous times, and not pitying the suffering of all living beings.
Until the beacon fire massacred the village, starved to death everywhere, and the children cried blood, the frozen Taoist heart was finally penetrated by the suffering of the world.
It turns out that the so-called unkindness of heaven is just the self-interest of immortals; the so-called destiny in troubled times is all controlled by the immortal family.
The immortals and gods in the sky sit high in the clouds and regard mortals as mutinous dogs and the human world as a breeding ground.
Then it's up to him to take the sword in the world.
Cut off the paths of immortals and mortals, destroy the chess game of heaven, and kill the delusions of gods!
Don't ask for immortality, don't ask for dominance.
I only wish to use my mortal body to carry the way of heaven, protect the nine states with one sword, and guard the fireworks of thousands of families in this world, so that they will be peaceful every year.
The ups and downs in troubled times are all chess, and the ego decides the world with one sword.
