After accidentally falling into an evil sect, Lu Yuan wakes up to find himself the young master, about to have his cultivation crippled. But the Eight Great Demon Generals mistake him for a Demon Venerable who has been asleep for a thousand years.
He has only two choices: get exposed and die on the spot, or grit his teeth and impersonate the Demon Venerable.
The demons are all intent on slaughtering, looting, and wiping out the righteous path.
Lu Yuan, however, uses his modern mindset to overhaul the Abyssal Demon Hall.
He abolishes savage pillaging and sets up caravan security, tickets to secret realms, and performance reviews for the sect.
When the Demon Generals want to wage war, he talks costs and returns. When the elders want to massacre people, he discusses systems of rewards and punishments.
The Eight Great Demon Generals: "Our lord's Dao is profound and unfathomable!"
The various elders: "Our lord's vision surpasses even the ancient Demon Venerables!"
The righteous sects: "They say the Demon Venerable has changed completely and no longer loves killing. What kind of demon is this?"
Lu Yuan pretends to be the Demon Venerable to keep things under control, while dealing with probing from the old demons within and attacks from the righteous path.
He only wanted to keep his head down and stay alive. He never imagined the Demon Venerable's name would spread farther and farther, turning the entire cultivation world upside down.
