With blocked spiritual roots and abandoned by his family, he unexpectedly awakens the "Myriad Manifestations Analysis Record" in this desperate situation, capable of dismantling the threads of shadow puppets, discerning the weaknesses of ghost servants' birth charts, and deciphering the laws and codes of ancient heavenly books. From surviving in a dilapidated temple in Qingyun Ruins to taming a dual-attribute fox ghost servant in the Five Elements Prison; from exposing the conspiracy of Shadow Fiend controlling the Underworld in the Yin-Yang Realm to using "Analysis Technique" to slap the faces of those who look down on him in the Xuancang Great World; from unlocking "Puppet Fusion" in the Starfall Ruins to controlling the "Myriad Manifestations Core" in the Primordial Divine Kingdom—Lin Che uses what others consider the "unorthodox puppet path" to forge a heaven-defying path.
