Chen Yun transmigrates into an immense yet cold and merciless world of immortal cultivation.
He thought he would spend his life like duckweed, at the mercy of anyone who wished to crush him. Unexpectedly, he awakens the Hall of Return to Ruins, which can create deathsworn warriors.

As sects scheme against one another, dynasties of immortals rise and fall, and humans and demons clash, Chen Yun stays hidden behind the scenes, moving his pieces across the board in this magnificent yet utterly merciless age.
