Gu Chentong, a modern urban orphan college student, works in a bar run by a general and has been with his childhood sweetheart Zhou Qianqian since childhood. He is actually the reincarnation of the remnant soul of the ancient ferocious beast Jian from the eighth reincarnation. His soul was incomplete due to the eight reincarnations. Instead, he has an exceptional physique that is not bound by the rules of the three realms, and he has the destiny to rewrite the fate of the Zombie clan.
In ancient times, Jian was divided into four great zombie ancestors: Hanbao Lu Xi, Ying Gou Shu Yihuan, Houqing Zhuge Shang, and generals transformed into flesh. All tribes have been suppressed and stigmatized by the human race throughout the ages. Gu Chenshen encounters a corpse chaos by chance and exposes his true origin. He gets acquainted with the four clones of the Zombie Ancestor who are hiding in the market. He is also helped by Pang Shi, the guide of reincarnation, and the incarnation of the reincarnation avenue, and he gets a glimpse of the truth of the world.
Gu Chenshen and his party traveled through the secret realms of mountains and seas and traveled to the netherworld, gradually making up for the regrets of eight reincarnations, and their cultivation level climbed to the Tao realm. Chi You was the first to come into the world and wanted to devour the origin of Zong Ancestor and subvert the three realms. Lu She sacrificed herself to help the male protagonist kill Chi You;
Behind the scenes, the ancient god Zhulong appears, trying to dominate the world. Zhou Qianqian revealed the true form of the Fuxi Qin instrument spirit and sacrificed the soul, allowing Gu Chenshu to gather the three treasures of Haotian Tower, Fuxi Qin and Nuwa Stone, transform into the Chaos Opening God, and kill Zhulong.
Seeing that Hongmeng Avenue was so filthy that it was difficult to clean it up, the Creator God Taiyi voluntarily fell and returned to his path. Gu Chenshen let go of all the fetters of love and hate, abandoned his own soul and merged into the origin of Hongmeng, corrected the unbalanced order of heaven and earth, fulfilled everyone's obsessions, and finally proved the selfless way of "abandoning the ego and becoming the great road".
