Archaeologist Lin Chen transmigrates to the Xuan Yan Continent and becomes Ling Chen, a good-for-nothing whose Hongmeng Dao Body has been sealed. With his golden finger, the ability to decipher ancient scripts, he unlocks lost Dao-pattern techniques, takes revenge on his family's old enemies, and investigates the secrets behind the Heavenly Dao's suppression of the ancestors. Rising from a sect to contend for supremacy across the continent, Ling Chen wields words as his sword and his Dao Body as his shield. At last, across the Myriad Worlds, he breaks free of his shackles and ushers in a new Hongmeng Era.
