Through hard work and luck, he became the galaxy's top mecha and starship designer, hailed as a "Miracle Star" and a "Treasure of the Universe." After achieving fame and success, and longing for his homeland, he piloted the starship Earth through the universe, drifting aimlessly until he accidentally intercepted a frequency signal from Earth. ???!!! Ling Xuemo: I can go home! * In Earth year 2045, an unidentified starship descended on Earth. According to reporters, its owner was Ling Xuemo, the outstanding young man from Huaxia who had gone to the Interstellar Alliance in 2031 for an exchange program (?).

He would soon be awarded a national medal and the title of honorary academician. * Residents of the Interstellar Alliance: ??? What the heck? Wasn't Lord Ling just taking his starship out for a spin?

Synopsis: As terror returns, sinister horrors extend their dreadful claws from the shadows. Faceless ghosts that peel off skin and paint faces, severed limbs that control puppets, and empty graves where someone turns up dead every day... Fear and darkness blanket the skies. Order teeters on the brink of collapse, so the Special Affairs Bureau is established. One day, the Special Affairs Bureau captures a faceless ghost responsible for several major crimes in an apartment building. Strangely, when found, the ghost is already gravely wounded and near death. When Ji Xuewen gets home from work, he finds that the Special Affairs Bureau has searched his place. Its agents tell Mr. Ji that the faceless ghost, who is obsessed with peeling skin, targeted him because he is exceptionally good-looking. But they've already captured the ghost, so he's safe now. Ji Xuewen forces a smile and thanks them. Looking at the faceless ghost shivering inside its containment box, his eyes fill with regret and reluctance: There goes tonight's meal again. * When terror returns, Ji Xuewen transforms into an ancient god known as the "Enemy of All" and the "Origin of Terror." Ji Xuewen doesn't want to leave human society, so he urgently needs to feed on all kinds of ghosts and monsters to gain the power needed to maintain his disguise. To hunt openly without having his identity questioned, Ji Xuewen signs up as a paranormal livestreamer and recklessly visits all kinds of haunted forbidden zones to broadcast. On the surface, he flirts wildly with ghosts and monsters and seems to court death. In reality, he uses these encounters to steal their power without anyone noticing. Until one livestream, when Ji Xuewen is unexpectedly "rescued" by the guardian deity Fu Mingzhou. He then sees the containment boxes Fu Mingzhou uses to capture ghosts. They are filled with overwhelming ghostly energy, pure and potent yin energy. Compared with the energy he's gathered from the ghosts and monsters he's encountered, it's like comparing gourmet food to scraps. It does nothing for his appetite. Ji Xuewen doesn't want to work hard anymore. He asks sincerely, "God Fu, would you like to raise an ancient god? The kind that eats a ton but isn't very good at acting cute." Theme: Never forget your homeland or your original aspirations.
