On the Tianheng Continent, East and West have stood opposed for a thousand years.
The East cultivates immortality, the West cultivates demonic arts, and the people in between learn one thing: how to survive.
Shen Du is a small-time broker in the borderlands. With no spiritual roots and no magic, he gets by on his silver tongue and a mind sharper than anyone else's.
Until one day, an ancient relic crashes down on his head.
The East wants to seize it, the West wants to claim it, and even the immortals in the heavens have sent people down for it.
Shen Du sighs. "I just want to make a little money in peace."
Then he flips the chessboard.
"Since you're all here to bully me, don't blame me for taking control of the game."
The story of a nobody navigating the clashing powers of two great civilizations and turning the world upside down.
No System, no rebirth, just brains.
There are brothers, passion, laughter and tears, as well as schemes and intrigue.
All aboard. Once this train leaves the station, it won't stop.
