Yuan Meijun, a gold-mining boy from Tiandi Town, was living a peaceful life with his wife Zhu Aitao in his ancestral golden cave, but he was drawn into the extraordinary whirlpool due to a strange landslide. When he was on the verge of death, he awakened his "gold-digging eyes", which allowed him to see through mineral veins, divine breath and weaknesses. He even accidentally awakened the ancient artifact "God-Eating Blade" - this blade can swallow divine breath and evil god pollution, but it will corrode the divine soul. Only his wife's "purifying light" can balance it.
In order to protect his loved ones and find out the truth about his parents' martyrdom, Yuan Meijun joined the Night Watch and assembled the fire-type explosive fist Cao Yan, the wood-type vine Yuan Xiaoman, and the earth-type mausoleum guardian Lan Jia to form the "Golden Cave Team". They destroyed the lair of the servants of the gods and fought against the evil cult across borders, but they encountered betrayal by undercover agents and backstabbing of close relatives: their uncle Yuan Tianhai was parasitized by the remnant soul of the earth-based true god, his wife Zhu Aitao was extracted from the light godhead and fell into a coma, and the lives of Tiandi Town were devastated.
After the collapse of his faith, Yuan Meijun emerged from decadence and returned to revenge with the God-Eating Blade. He went deep into the ruins of the ancient divine realm, uncovered the truth behind his parents' voluntary martyrdom to delay the arrival of the evil god, inherited the reincarnation fate of the first generation of God-Slayers, and gathered nine divine powers to break through to the high level of the God-Slaying Realm. In the end, he merged with the awakened Goddess of Light Zhu Aitao and his wife, united the human coalition, and sealed the alien evil god Azathoth in the ultimate form of the God-Eating Blade.
When the catastrophe came to an end, Yuan Meijun lost all his cultivation and turned back into a mortal, Zhu Aitao lost her appearance as a goddess, and the two returned to Tiandi to reopen the golden cave. Ten years later, their son Yuan Xiaojin awakened his gold-mining pupil, and the fateful reincarnation of the new generation of God-Slayers quietly began.
