Wandering Soul's Path to Immortality

Chen Fan, a young man from the mortal world, harbors a mysterious origin. His soul conceals the forbidden Void Eye, existing between yin and yang, neither reincarnating nor returning to the mundane. After an accidental death, he falls into the underworld as a lingering soul. Wandering through the netherworld, he encounters local deities like the Earth God of Green Stone Village, the City God of Qingjiang, the River Earl, and the Stove God, secretly learning yin-yang arts. He struggles to survive amidst the rules of the underworld and ghostly dangers. From a lowly deity to Judge Cui, Black and White Impermanence, the Yama Kings, and even Kṣitigarbha's millennia-long vigil and Houtu's supreme chess game, layers of secrets and ancient conspiracies unfold. Over ten thousand cycles of reincarnation, Chen Fan's soul has been forced to reincarnate 108,000 times—is this a flaw of the Heavenly Dao or a karmic fate from antiquity? Yin gods harbor their own agendas: some protect, some scheme, some go with the flow. The three realms are bound by strict rules: heavenly laws, underworld statutes, and Buddhist vows. A rootless wandering soul, cultivating through earthly incense, baleful qi, and water currents, shuttles between yin and yang, tearing apart the secrets behind reincarnation to defy predestined fate. He seeks to break free from the shackles of endless reincarnation, expose the truths hidden by the gods, and as a wandering soul, reverse yin and yang, break the rules, and tread the immortal path, forging his own way against the heavens in the chess game of the three realms.
