Thirteen years after transmigrating to the Douluo Continent as Huo Yuhao, the protagonist has deliberately avoided Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire, operating from the shadows to build his own power. In the Extreme North, he strikes a bargain with the Snow Empress, trading the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow for her protection and successfully helping her condense Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores to survive her tribulation. Using necromancy magic, he fakes his death and transforms into an undead creature, shedding his identity as the Child of Destiny and gaining an extended lifespan.

Ten thousand years later, he awakens in the Douluo Federation era as a young boy named Huo Yuhao in Donghai City. Possessing innate full soul power and a top-tier spiritual body martial soul, he registers at the Spirit Pagoda during Awakening Day, concealing his true identity and vast experience while preparing to navigate a world where soul guide technology has advanced and ancient grudges still linger.
