The world is devoid of spiritual energy; the Divine Land is in an age of Dharma-ending.

Waking up, Lu Yuan transmigrated to a strange world where immortals and gods have vanished, martial arts and Taoist techniques are gradually declining, while steam machinery is developing and flourishing at a rapid pace.

Here, alien races have usurped the nation to establish the Great Jin, forcing the people to shave their hair and change their clothes, enclosing land and enslaving the populace, trampling over millions of miles of territory.

Here, internally, an immortal demon empress controls the court, bringing disaster to the country and misery to the people, with starving corpses littering the land; externally, the Great Powers of the Holy Roman Empire bombard the national gates with ironclad warships and steam airships, while the Jin court suffers repeated defeats, ceding territory and paying indemnities, losing sovereignty and humiliating the nation.

In such a time of upheaval and precariousness, with the country on the brink of collapse.

Lu Yuan arrived with a Heavenly Book, capable of using luck points to ignite the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations and Seventy-Two Earthly Fates, condensing them into supernatural fruits:

[Earthly Fate - Consumption]: Devour all things, extract the essence of all things to strengthen oneself, and achieve an extraordinary physique from the inside out.

[Earthly Fate - Radiance]: Recite incantations to emit a protective divine light, immune to all spells, keeping all evil at bay, with light covering the body and infinite wondrous uses.

[Heavenly Transformation - Nine Breaths of Qi]: Inhale and exhale for nine breaths, swallowing the primordial energy of the universe to refine into magic power; this is the supreme Taoist method of Qi cultivation—just by breathing, he becomes stronger!

Lu Yuan: "Martial arts, Taoist techniques, cannons, and giant warships? I'm going straight to immortal cultivation!
