In his previous life, Nie Li was killed by the Sage Emperor. After dying, he wakes up in his thirteen-year-old body with a new opportunity to save his loved ones from being betrayed by Sacred Family. Determined to stop this betrayal and prevent an attack on Glory City that destroyed his home and killed all his friends and family, Nie Li sets out to cultivate himself to great heights using the knowledge he gained during his journey through the Divine Continent in his past life. He is a member of the Heavenly Marks Family, which is declining and weak, but has a rich cultural heritage. His initial talent for cultivation is considered poor by others, but he possesses a wealth of experience from his travels.
Nie Li gathers allies who protected Glory City in his previous life, including his best friends Du Ze and Lu Piao, as well as Zhang Ming, Zhu Xiangjun, Wei Nan, Ye Ziyun, and Xiao Ninger. With their help, he works to strengthen his loved ones so that they can have a better chance at survival in the face of Sacred Family's betrayal.
