Uncle Nine: Defying Heaven's Will at the Charity Cemetery

After transmigrating to the Republic of China era, Shen Chang'an is taken in by Uncle Jiu as his third disciple.

On the night of his apprenticeship, he unexpectedly awakens a damaged Book of Fate that lets him glimpse other people's fatal calamities in advance.

[Wencai: The corpse poison will reach his heart in three days.]

[Qiusheng: He will be consumed by ghostly energy in seven days, cutting his lifespan in half.]

[Lin Jiu: In three years, he will guard the Ghost Gate alone until his soul is scattered.]

Every time Shen Chang'an saves someone destined to die, he gains lifefire, which he can use to complete incomplete Taoist arts and devise talismans and thunder techniques.

But fate cannot be altered lightly.

Averted calamities do not vanish. Instead, they become even more perilous debts against fate, falling upon Shen Chang'an.

After he saves Wencai, Old Master Ren undergoes corpse transformation ahead of schedule.

After he saves Qianhe, a royal zombie devours the imperial dragon energy.

When he stops Shi Jian and Uncle Jiu from turning against each other, someone behind the scenes writes all of Maoshan into the Book of Life and Death.

Shen Chang'an gradually realizes that the zombie and vengeful-ghost disasters are no coincidence.

Someone has allied with the Underworld, tampered with people's lifespans, and plans to use the lives of all under heaven to open the Ghost Gate.

Years later, the city is surrounded by corpses, and ten thousand ghosts break free.

When the enemy believes Uncle Jiu is still all alone, the gates of the funeral home slowly swing open.

Simei stands ready with his sword, Qianhe forms a battle array, Zhegu takes to the altar, and Shi Jian commands the thunder.

All those who were supposed to die according to fate now stand behind Uncle Jiu.

Shen Chang'an opens the Book of Fate, its pages filled with blood-red debts of calamity.

“In this life, when Master turns around, not one of us will be missing.”
