One day, the gates of the underworld opened.
Monsters and spirits long vanished from history surged into the human world, rampaging unchecked.
People were like lambs led to slaughter. The modern technology they had once been so proud of was useless against ghosts and monsters. The last members of the immortal sects, hidden among ordinary people, stood up to fight them, only to be as helpless as a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or an ant trying to shake a tree.
Humanity teetered on the brink of extinction.
In an age when cultivators had nearly vanished, how could these evil creatures be stopped?
The few remaining cultivators came up with a solution. Using modern DNA technology alongside spirit-summoning rituals, they began searching for the descendants of ancient great powers, opening their spiritual meridians and teaching them the spells to summon gods.
One by one, the ancient great powers returned to the world through their descendants, gradually bringing the fighting to a stalemate. A new order of immortals and demons began to take shape in modern society.
Xu Que is no great power.
He's a distant relative of one.
Ever since he was born, he has known that he exists to be possessed.
He doesn't resent it.
He's just curious about what kind of person the great power who takes over his body and continues living will be.

After a lifetime of hard work, Zhang Hengtian has finally died.
But perhaps he really was doomed to toil through ten lifetimes. A thousand years after his death, people dig him up to possess him and give him a new body and a new life, so he can keep fighting demons and protecting the Way.
The modern world's exploitation of workers is utterly insane. He wants to quit. He wants to rest in peace.
As luck would have it, the person he's possessing doesn't seem to want to be possessed, either.
“How could such a coincidence happen? You want to live, and I want to die.”
“We were made for each other.”
