Chen Mo thinks his life is a joke.
The 996 work grind is squeezing the life out of him. His girlfriend of five years dumps him with a single text, and his beautiful, polished boss, Su Qing, seems to take pleasure in "pushing" him, though to outsiders it looks like she's treating him as someone special.
Just when he thinks his life has hit rock bottom, global warming finally makes its big move: ancient creatures and viruses, frozen beneath Antarctica, awaken! Giant beasts roar, monsters run rampant, spiritual energy returns, and the world slides toward collapse.
And on the very night he gets dumped, Chen Mo unexpectedly awakens his powers. He can control objects with telekinesis and fire blasts of energy with qigong. Combined with his family's ancestral manual, the Record of Primordial Unity, he quietly cultivates, and his strength skyrockets.
While everyone else struggles to survive the apocalypse, Chen Mo is wondering:
How can he use telekinesis to water the pothos his ex-girlfriend left behind with pinpoint accuracy?
How can he compress spiritual energy into a "super endurance pack" to deal with overtime?
And how can he punch a mutated giant rat into oblivion "reasonably" while exploring a fallen zone with his troublesome boss, without losing his meager salary and social insurance and housing fund?
