Spiritual Qi Revival: I Am the Architect of Civilization

In 2042, in the highly advanced city of Donghai, an unexpected spiritual qi revival shattered the calm of modern civilization. After electronic devices went haywire, living things mutated, and other strange phenomena occurred, Chen Ming, an ordinary programmer, happened upon Uncle Li, a retired cultural relic restorer, and encountered a traditional breathing technique on the verge of being lost. As the concentration of spiritual qi rose, social order gradually collapsed: some people awakened supernatural abilities and ran amok, tech giants tried to weaponize spiritual qi, and traditional cultivators returned to public view. Under Uncle Li's guidance, Chen Ming struggled to cultivate. He had to deal with the clash between technology and cultivation while holding fast to the principle of not bullying the weak. Together with Lin Wei, a doctor, and Zhang Yuan, a tech executive undergoing a change of heart, he formed an alliance to fight Zhao Tianlei's faction, which had been consumed by power. At last, amid the ruins, they explored a new order in which the instrumental rationality of technology could coexist with the humanistic spirit of cultivation. Chen Ming transformed from an ordinary corporate wage slave into a builder of a new civilization.
