The most poisonous poison in the world is called "if it had happened at the beginning".
When the bronze lantern spirit began to record the non-existent sounds, when the dead souls in the painting asked why they were trapped, when the star map reflected all the signs of reversal of fate - the five monks cursed by heaven saw each other's fragmented destiny in the will-o'-the-wisp of the Evernight City.
Shen Handeng, an abandoned disciple of Kunlun with the soul of the sword that killed his master sealed in his left eye, discovered that the murder of his master was actually related to a painting from Huangquan;
Yu Qinghuan, a soul painter who uses bone and blood as ink, saw the secret mark of Tianji Pavilion that should not exist on the portrait of her late husband;
Su Chanyi, a Gu Immortal who makes a living by feeding Gu, hides lies in the elixir made by her master;
Wuwu, the crazy monk who suppresses the fire of karma, is one step closer to becoming a demon every time he recites the Rebirth Mantra;
Xie Guiya, a lying astrologer, hides a secret more terrifying than aging under the veil.
In order to pursue the truth of their respective obsessions, they are forced to work together to find the ancient forbidden weapon "Dial of Destiny" - an artifact that can rewrite the past but devour the future.
But what the five people don't know is:
Every key that unlocks the artifact is their deepest pain;
Every attempt to pry into destiny adds to its fate;
When they finally gathered in Wuyahai, the ending displayed on the dial was actually——
"You have never met."
Intention: The paradox of resisting fate
