Three months after transmigrating, Wu Xian took over his hometown's reservoir and began to notice more and more strange things around him.
There were swans with dozens of human eyes growing along the banks, crimson Virginia creeper that spread across an entire mountain ridge in a single night, and a Jiao serpent in the middle of the lake with a head bigger than a truck's, yet seemingly terrified of him.
One night, after Wu Xian saw a frenzied black shadow trying to pounce on him, a line of text suddenly appeared across his retina:
[Eye of the Five Su. An ocular aberrant demon from another dimension, representing the gaze of an unknown entity. It possesses an unidentified corrupting effect.]
As one eerie, uncanny demon after another emerged from the reservoir, Wu Xian's peaceful life was thrown into chaos. Some wanted to devour everything and wreak havoc; some wanted to resolve their lingering obsessions and vanish for good; and others simply wanted an unwanted body to walk the mortal world.
To repay the loan he took out to repair the reservoir, Wu Xian absorbed the spiritual essence left behind by aberrant demons and ascended to the supernatural. He hired classmates and teachers to eliminate aberrant demons, while forming contracts with neutral ones and becoming their roommate.
In the Golden Age, when spiritual energy had erupted, airships darted across the sky like schools of fish, and the battles between aberrant demon hunters and frenzied cultists had only recently ended, an even greater shadow silently fell over the Huaxia continent.
