A golden immortal known as the Moon Golden Immortal, Fang Xianyu was the sole being in three thousand years to attain Dao as the Taiyin. She possessed a supreme treasure, the Mountains and Rivers Society and State Diagram, which was actually a system driven by merit and incense energy. With it she established Zhongzhou City, a haven for countless living beings in the Central Continent. Upon returning from a half-month divine excursion beyond the heavens, she discovered her city in ruins and its populace slaughtered by a coalition of immortals and gods from the Ten Continents and Three Islands, including the Taiyi Sect, Qiankun Sect, and Penglai Island. They claimed she used the Diagram to damage the world's origin and demanded its surrender, then butchered her worshippers to sever her incense supply. Hidden in a dilapidated temple, Fang Xianyu heard merchants and a swordsman recount the massacre: thirteen of the twenty-eight Star Lords killed outright, eleven exiled, eighty of over a hundred Zhongzhou cities fallen, tens of millions dead. When the coalition surrounded the temple, the swordsman defended her honor but was attacked. Fang Xianyu emerged and fought back, summoning the Diagram. With 123,481 energy points converted from a century of accumulated merit, she unleashed a devastating white light that annihilated the immortals for miles—mountains severed, vegetation gone, golden immortals reduced to nothing.Time rewound. Fang Xianyu returned to the very spot of her original transmigration, an abandoned village outside Taiping Town, her system points reduced to a few hundred after the self-detonation. She regretted not slaughtering those hypocrites the moment she attained Dao. The Diagram was actually the Heavenly Dao Faith System, using merit and incense as energy. Points could grant enlightenment, create matter, move mountains, and beyond a hundred thousand could even rewind time. In her previous cycle she spent over a million points to transform the Central Continent and nourish its beings. Now in the second playthrough, she retained all cultivation knowledge. She immediately began cultivation, achieving Qi induction and false core in half an afternoon. Realizing she needed loyal followers, she conceived a plan: establish cross-dimensional consciousness links to Blue Star, summoning human consciousnesses into puppet bodies that would become their true physical forms over time. These players, as she called them, would be her disciples, never betraying her. She would keep their cultivation at Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment levels using minimal energy investment, while they repaid her through their actions. Her ultimate goal was to rebuild her power and take revenge on all the immortals and gods who destroyed Zhongzhou City and killed her people.On Blue Star, the game "Ten Continents Chronicle" appeared, its promotional CGI depicting Fang Xianyu's time reversal scene with breathtaking realism. Developed by the unknown "Otherworld Network Technology Company," it claimed the world's most advanced virtual reality engine and an AI self-evolving world. Only fifty closed beta slots were available, yet over two hundred thousand applied. Many dismissed it as a scam, but the CGI's quality ignited curiosity. Among the applicants was Han Yi, a university student who learned about the game only on the last registration day. He overheard two students discussing it while buying lunch and saw the CGI—a woman surrounded by cultivators, the massacre, her power, and her declaration: "To establish a sect and protect the world, it begins here!" Impressed, Han Yi registered without expectation of winning. Days later, while playing another game, he received a notification: he had been selected for the Ten Continents Chronicle internal test. Surprised, he activated his qualification and downloaded the game, becoming one of the fifty chosen players. As Han Yi and other players prepared to enter the world, Fang Xianyu's scheme to gather unwaveringly loyal disciples through the game channel was set in motion, her revenge against the treacherous immortals and the reconstruction of Zhongzhou City now inextricably tied to the coming of Earth's players into her second life.
