Gu Changsheng transmigrates to the dawn of the Primordial World and becomes one of the first innate humans. By a stroke of luck, he also merges with the essence of Hongyun, a doomed cannon-fodder character, awakening the [Heavenly Secrets Disc of the Cautious Path]. As long as he does not deliberately stir up cause and effect and simply keeps a low profile, his cultivation and mastery of the laws will skyrocket automatically. But if he actively causes trouble, his gains plummet!

From then on, the Primordial World loses a well-meaning fool and gains a reclusive schemer who lays traps for the heavens.

After the first lecture at the Purple Cloud Palace, Kunpeng tries to force his way in and seize a seat, while Jieyin and Zhunti use moral coercion. Gu Changsheng plops down on his cushion, then turns the tide of Heaven itself, making Kunpeng spit blood on the spot and leaving every mighty figure in the hall utterly stunned!

He swears brotherhood with Zhen Yuanzi and carves out a domain at Five Villages Temple. During the calamity of the Lich War, he stays behind the scenes, scavenging corpses and taking over the Sun Star. During the Investiture of the Gods calamity, he secretly makes his moves to protect humanity and lures Fairy Yunxiao back to his Taoist temple to serve as a maid. The Three Pure Ones have to greet him with the respect due to an elder, while Zhulong, Jiutian Xuannü, and Chang'e are all bound to him by tangled worldly ties that cannot be severed.

Countless epochs later, the Calamity of Journey to the West begins.

Sun Wukong fights his way all the way to the Hall of Perfect Brightness. The gods of Heaven are helpless, and the Jade Emperor is so alarmed that he is about to summon the Buddha!

Just then, in a rundown tavern in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Gu Changsheng is sharing drinks with Fairy Zixia. He picks up a peanut, and a wisp of aura slips from his fingertip by accident, so faint as to be almost imperceptible.
