Protagonist Lin Yi, due to the imperfect spiritual root he bestowed upon his adopted younger brother Lin Zihan ten years ago, caused Lin Zihan to fail his tribulation. Consequently, Lin Yi was tormented by his four biological sisters who planned to seize his more precious ancestral bloodline. At the brink of death, betrayed by his closest kin and in despair, Lin Yi's faith in the path of affection completely shattered, giving rise to an ultimate, ruthless intent. This inadvertently activated the "Lone Wolf System." The system reversed time, resurrecting him ten years prior, back to the very day his spiritual root was stolen. With memories of his past life and the newly bound system, Lin Yi embarks on a ruthless path of revenge against his family.

Reborn Lin Yi faces his sisters who betrayed him in his past life, demanding his cultivation foundation—the Five Elements Spiritual Roots. His sisters, believing he still cultivates the path of love, attempt to coerce him through moral blackmail and threats of "severing family ties." However, this plays right into Lin Yi's hands. His "Lone Ranger System" assigns him a task to sever family ties, with the reward of a more powerful Heavenly Spiritual Root. Lin Yi plays along, feigning difficulty, and finally, when his sisters issue their ultimatum, he readily agrees to cut ties, completely upending their plans and opening a new chapter in his path to revenge.

The episode opens with an intense family conflict. Protagonist Lin Yi is cornered by his eldest sister Lin Xi, second sister Lin Yao, and adopted son Lin Zihan, who demand he surrender his "spiritual roots." They threaten to sever ties, attempting to exploit the weakness in Lin Yi's "path of emotions" to shatter his dao heart. However, Lin Yi not only refuses to yield but surprisingly agrees to the severed ties, angrily revealing his tragic ten-year experience of mining spirit stones for the family. He retaliates with force, slapping all the sisters and his adopted son present, completely tearing off the family's hypocritical facade of affection and pushing the conflict to an irreversible point.

Lin Yi's four sisters (Lin Xi, Lin Yao, Lin Xuan, and Lin Meng), instigated by their adopted brother Lin Zihan, threaten to sever their sibling ties unless Lin Yi apologizes for "harming" Lin Zihan and hands over his Five Elements Spirit Root. Lin Yi, outwardly calm but guided by the system, plays along with their scheme, cleverly provoking his sisters into swearing a Heavenly Oath. Enraged, the eldest sister, Lin Xi, immediately utters a poisonous vow to sever ties with Lin Yi. After the Heavenly Dao bears witness, she prepares to forcibly seize Lin Yi's Spirit Root, pushing the plot to a climax.

Protagonist Lin Yi is betrayed one by one by his four adoptive sisters, Lin Xi, Lin Yao, Lin Xuan, and Lin Meng, instigated by their adopted son Lin Zihan. In order to gain cultivation and enter the immortal sect, the sisters sever their sibling relationship with Lin Yi on the spot and cruelly seize the four spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, and fire within him. In the process of enduring immense pain and betrayal, Lin Yi instead comprehends the true meaning of the "Path of Ruthlessness." Just as the eldest sister Lin Xi prepares to seize his last spiritual root, earth, the system prompts that because the sibling bond has not been completely severed, the higher-level "Heavenly Spiritual Root" cannot be issued, leaving a cliffhanger.

Inside the Immortal Sect main hall, Lin Yi, whose Dao heart is shattered and life hanging by a thread, is pressured by his elder sister Lin Xi and other sisters to hand over his last Earth Spirit Root to their adopted son, Lin Zihan. Lin Yi proposes that if Lin Zihan is willing to sever their brotherly bond, he can take the spirit root. The sisters accuse Lin Yi of being shameless and morally manipulative, hypocritically upholding Lin Zihan's "kind" image. However, under Lin Yi's relentless pressure and verbal provocation, Lin Zihan finally sheds his pretense, revealing his true nature of jealousy and greed. He publicly swears a Heavenly Dao oath to sever ties with Lin Yi and forcefully seizes the Earth Spirit Root.

Protagonist Lin Yi, his spiritual roots seized by his family, resolutely decides to break ties with them. Facing the mockery of his sisters and adopted son Lin Zihan, and the furious rage of his father Lin Jiuhe, Lin Yi remains undeterred and declares war, vowing to crush their glory at the Immortal Sect Assembly in three days. While the Lin family members outwardly display anger, they secretly agree under Lin Xi's suggestion to not completely sever ties with Lin Yi for the time being, intending to continue exploiting him as a "beast of burden" for mining spirit stones. Just as their discussion concludes and they depart, Lin Yi, who had already left, unexpectedly returns, his intentions unknown.

He was falsely accused of being a useless weakling and imprisoned in the dungeon. In the present, Lin Yi has undergone a complete transformation and returns to face his family with cold indifference.
