In the modern world, the passage between heaven and earth is severed, spiritual energy has withered, and the gods have vanished.
Yang Wentian is a devout believer in the gods, obsessed with ancient myths. He especially worships Erlang Shen, Yang Jian, after reading various books about him. Convinced that Kunlun Mountain still conceals traces of the divine, he ignores the world's ridicule and sets out alone on a quest to find a saint.
Yang Wentian accidentally triggers an ancient seal and transmigrates into Yang Jian, who has just escaped the Heavenly Court's pursuit. He discovers the conspiracy of the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect: splitting the mountain to save his mother, helping Zhou overthrow Shang, and all the rest were merely ways to use him to achieve their goals.
Yang Wentian decides he will no longer let the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect manipulate him. This time, he won't be their pawn again. Whether this is fate or a twist of fate remains to be seen.
Yuding: Why do I feel like I've lost something?
Taiqing Saint: A variable, a variable. The Interception Sect's destiny has changed.
Two Sages of the West: This child has a karmic connection with the West.
Sect Master Tongtian: You two old baldies, just try laying a finger on him.
Hongjun: During the Great Tribulation of Investiture, Saints must not act lightly.
Yang Jian: Many thanks, Dao Ancestor! Since the Saints won't intervene, I can finally put you all through your paces.
Yunxiao: Erlang, it's thanks to you that the Interception Sect survived this calamity. I don't even know how to thank you...
