Chen Yi died in a traffic accident when he was hit by a car while distracted by his phone at a crosswalk, ignoring the green light. After a moment of unconsciousness, he woke up in a pitch-black world without any light, sound, or vegetation, wearing the same clothes but without his personal items. He discovered he was in a soul state without a physical body, not feeling hunger or thirst, and possessed an ability called the Omniscient Eye that provided information in response to his queries, though with limitations requiring specific references. Using this ability, he learned his surroundings: he was alone in a barren land of dark soil with distant mountains. He tested the ability to locate nearest beings, water, and other resources, using steps as a unit. He found he was far from others and started walking toward the nearest human-like being, but after realizing his mental state changed, he questioned his race and used the term same kind instead. The ability guided him to resources: a gray water pool containing matter that relieved fatigue, black water that increased spirit limit, and colorful soul crystals that were addictive and which he discarded. He also recovered a black lizard soul body that strengthened his soul when consumed. These resources improved his condition, raising his spirit limit to 998.4w beyond a base, and he created a personal status panel. He found a bone spike as a weapon and continued traveling. He eventually reached a grassland with snakeberry-like plants that increased his stamina when consumed, raising his stamina limit from zero to two hundred thousand, bringing him closer to reviving a physical body. However, these plants were mobile creatures belonging to the Snake People, who were preparing them for a sacrifice to their deity, the Snake God. Chen Yi consumed thousands of these fruits, devastating the Snake God Pasture and causing the Snake People to see him as an Evil God. The Snake People, led by priests and the Holy Spirit Golden Snake, were terrified by his immense shadow and decided to declare a racial war, using flesh to cultivate more fruits and seeking the deity's blessing. This subplot is interwoven with events in the Shavi World, a realm inhabited by the Green Lizard lineage. The mage Shawei detected a Soul Tide Calamity in the Soul Sea that led to the release of the Catastrophe Ghost Dragon, a sealed entity. The calamity injured magicians and caused a civil war over soul crystals that emerged. The Prophet investigated but found limited information from guardians, one of whom went mad from witnessing something indescribable. The Prophet suspected heretical involvement but could not confirm, and the event was recorded as a warning. Chen Yi, unaware of these events, continued his journey, having strengthened through resources, with his overall goal being to reach his same kind. The narrative concludes with the Snake People mobilizing for war and the Shavi World in turmoil, setting the stage for further conflicts and Chen Yi's path forward.
