High-octane from beginning to end, sci-fi mythology, and the reunion of Heaven's three greatest rebels.
This is an era of spiritual qi revival, with a conspiracy lurking beneath the surface. Figures from ancient mythology have all awakened, while the mechanical Heavenly Court, which proclaims itself the “Will of Heaven,” controls human civilization. Sun Chen, the perfect vessel for the Great Sage's genes,
is drawn into a deicide plot spanning five thousand years. The fragments of the Sea-Calming Needle beneath Cangwu Academy, the gene bank fashioned from the Dragon Palace in the East Sea, the giant spirit god mecha frozen in Kunlun Ruins... Every relic holds the truth of a tampered history. As he fights for his life between convenience-store neon and ancient Sanskrit, wielding a Golden Cudgel capable of atomic assimilation, he discovers that even Lin Xiaoqiu, his childhood sweetheart and heir to the Goddess of Luo River, is a living key planted by the Empress Wa's mainframe.
A clone opens its eyes in a cultivation pod and sneers. Mechanical Nezha's fire-tipped spear spits antimatter flames, while deep inside the convenience store's freezer lie the frozen corpses of generations of Great Sages Equal to Heaven. From electric restraints in a psychiatric hospital to a quantum Buddha-realm on an interstellar battlefield, Sun Chen struggles amid burning franchise agreements and floods of data. He is both a deicide weapon bred by the Heavenly Court and the final loophole in the Three Realms.
When the Thirty-Three Heavens become a convenience-store star chain in near-Earth orbit, and the Golden Cudgel splits into a Primordial Azure Lotus capable of sweeping away the galaxy, his ordinary memories of working the night shift at a convenience store turn out to be the strongest virus for tearing apart the AI Will of Heaven.
“This time, it's not the Southern Heavenly Gate I'm going to smash...” The young man tears off his bloodstained apron. Behind him, the karmic flames of a hundred thousand awakened ones light up the sea of stars. “It's every ‘System’ that manipulates the masses!” On this battlefield where mythology dances with code, every bursting packet of instant noodles is civilization's counterattack, and every ding of the cash register rewrites the rules of deicide.
I can't understand it, but it feels so awesome 😂
