Meng Chen in Jiangcheng received a "magic machine" pen from express delivery on a rainy night. When he dropped the ink, it became real, and the painted birds could fly. He fell into the extraordinary world beneath the city and became the sixteenth generation holder of the "Magic Pen".
Han Shouzheng, the owner of Moxiangzhai, and Su Qingyu, the ancient painting restorer, uncovered the key manuscript from the mounting paper layer, and the Lingmeng's eyes followed. In the illusion of qualification appraisal, he refused to choose between the two established paths, and instead forced the appraisal system of the Spirit Alliance to shut down. Since then, he has been targeted by the radical, conservative, and moderate factions at the same time. The Five Elements Trial of the Painting Saint Cave Mansion in Qingya Mountain and the suicide note of the previous holder Gu Changgeng revealed a three-hundred-year misunderstanding: the six artifacts are not the keys to "rewrite the destiny", but six world stabilizers - the magic pen, the exquisite tower, the lyre, the universe disk, the time dial, and an instrument of cause and effect that has been erased by history. The six weapons are connected to form a six-pointed star, sealing the ancient painted demon under the Kunlun Void Demonic Platform. Gu Changgeng had the opportunity back then, but chose not to open the door.
Taixu Zhenren, the leader of the radical faction, wanted to push the door open. Meng Chen could only move forward: leapfrogging the Spiritual Realm to open up to face the Formation Realm trial officer, giving birth to the self-conscious Painting Spirit Moli in "Resonance", expedition to the Dual Weapon Palace to obtain the lyre and the Dial of Time, and knocking on the Icefield Exquisite Tower in the north, until he stepped into the Artistic Realm of Transformation, upgraded "Reverse Painting" from erasure to rewriting, and chose two words for his artistic conception: protect.
The ending is at the Demon Sealing Platform. The seal collapsed and the ancient god awakened. What he wanted to answer was not how to become stronger, but who should guard this door. The answer lies in the word "inheritance": it is not one person who saves the world, but the vigil of generations of pen holders. The end of strength is never conquest.
