Lin Yuan, a bastard son cast aside by his family and treated as expendable cannon fodder, possesses the hundred-zhang corpse of an ancient god at the bottom of the Ten Thousand Poisons Abyss. He hides among ordinary people and plays the pig to eat the tiger, inciting rival factions to turn against one another, while taking on the guise of a deity to command the poisons and corpses of the abyss and devour forbidden black blood. In the end, amid the fervent competition of peerless beauties and prodigies from many factions, he overthrows the decaying imperial power and rebuilds the order of immortals and gods.
