After wiping out the Liu family, Xia Tianqiong enters a game-like ghost realm that traps tens of thousands of people. Using a floating island as his foundation, he accumulates power through miniature worlds on a chessboard. He subdues supernatural beings and gathers allies, but also attracts the hunting parties of ancient families. Facing the relentless pressure of the Leng family and conflicts between the two races of the ghost world, he lays traps at every turn and turns the tables by using his enemies' schemes against them. But when the Ghost King of the Wu Jian Tavern invites him, an even more dangerous battle of wits between humans and ghosts is about to unfold.
