After a lab explosion, quantum physics PhD Lin Chen finds himself in the body of Ye Wuhen, the notorious spirit-pattern grandmaster of the cultivation world, a supreme villain who has just slaughtered seventy thousand cultivators.
The lingering souls of a hundred thousand victims of the original body’s God-Slaying Curse haunt his left hand. In his right is a jade tablet that automatically derives Maxwell’s equations at his waist. When he discovers that spirit patterns are essentially binary code, and that the Blood Moon Era is a harvesting program set up by an ancient AI, he turns around and installs a hotfix to the Heavenly Dao.
He reconstructs the mountain-protecting formation with the Fibonacci sequence and solves the dual-cultivation technique using the Schrödinger equation. Then he digs up his own corpse in a secret chamber, wearing a modern wedding ring, and realizes that his transmigration is part of a closed-loop conspiracy. The one who planted the Klein bottle trap three hundred years ago was none other than himself, back in the lab calibrating the particle collider.
Shuang’er, the maid with a crescent-shaped birthmark on her collarbone, is both a critical vulnerability in the Blood Moon program and a quantum projection of his fiancée, who died in a car accident in the modern world. As the Twelve Ghost Generals arrive, wielding forbidden spells on the scale of the Riemann hypothesis, Lin Chen sneers within his four-dimensional spirit patterns. “It’s time to show the cultivation world what a real dimensionality strike looks like.”
Now he holds the God-Slaying Equation in his left hand and his fiancée’s biological chip in his right, with an army of a million programmed cultivators behind him. The final battle of this three-century-long code war turns out to be a declaration of war against himself: he must kill the mad scientist who rewrote the worldline to save one person.
