In the world of cultivating immortals at the Nine Collapse Heaven Level, monks improve their realm by absorbing "spiritual energy", but they don't know that this energy is actually the reverberation stolen from another dying universe. Lin Jin, a low-level monk who survived the Spiritual Ember Tribulation, was involved in a conspiracy across the universe due to the mysterious death of his master Qingxu Zhenren.
Holding the mysterious bronze box and crimson dew, Lin Jin embarks on a journey to find the truth. He discovered that the Jiudantian Steps were not the ladder to eternal life, but a huge scam. High-level monks maintain their own existence by plundering the energy of other universes, but they accelerate the death of this universe. Entropic scale, a crystallization phenomenon seen as pollution, is actually the universe's attempt to repair itself.
Under the guidance of observer Lu Celadon, Lin Jin gradually uncovered the secret of the Eye of Return to Ruins. This hub connecting countless universes is both the source of destruction and the hope of rebirth. However, repairing the Eye of Guixu requires a huge price. Lin Jin must make a choice between personal life and death and the survival of the universe.
