A boy living in the mountains longs for something new. Unafraid of his grandfather’s tales of "rampaging snakes and insects, spiders everywhere, rivers of blood, and severed limbs," he heads down the mountain and joins a world built on the foundations of immortals.
Is he a genius or a sacrifice?
A madman or a "defender of the righteous path"?
Lin Xi, the well-dressed young man; Chen Daosheng, the down-on-his-luck hunter; Wang Ruoyun, the chubby simpleton...
Faced with undeniable reality,
will they scoff at it or believe?
Society’s resources always flow toward whichever side best serves its development.
People often crumble when faced with powerful foes, performing well below their usual level.
What drives people forward is the throne of power, built on infinite glory and countless corpses.

It is natural to revere a distant sun. But if the object of admiration is an ant, everyone wants to step on it and stop it from scurrying about.
Right and wrong, the righteous path,
we will decide together.
