Jiang Li, a corpse collector, has endured relentless oppression from the Corpse Suppression Bureau. By a stroke of fate, he obtains the Corpse God's legacy and a Corpse Suppression Order, granting him the ability to see through bizarre rules and fulfill the lingering wishes of the dead. After repeatedly averting crises caused by reanimated corpses, he is framed by his colleagues, stripped of his Qi Sea, and thrown into the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses. Reborn from death, he gains control over death energy and assumes the alias Li Jiang to navigate the various factions. He masters forbidden techniques and personally slays his enemies. To avert a catastrophe caused by a mutated Heavenly Dao corrupted by resentment, Jiang Li awakens the power of his previous life as the Corpse God and seals the rift in the Heavenly Dao. He then embarks on a perilous journey to find the Corpse of the Creator God and save the Nine Provinces.
