Programmer Lin Mo dies from overwork, only to be reborn two years in the past. Carrying memories of his previous life, he resolves to change his fate and join Yunxiao Technology, the internet giant he once dreamed of working for.
On his first day, during a company team-building event, Lin Mo discovers a mysterious stone door in an ancient Data Zen Temple, triggering a strange sensation. Soon afterward, he encounters a hidden world: data cultivation, a mysterious power that combines ancient cultivation techniques with modern technology.
Under the guidance of company executive Zhao Ming, Lin Mo begins cultivating his ability to sense data, allowing him to “see” and manipulate data flows directly. But a warning from his colleague Su Yu makes him suspicious: Yunxiao Technology may appear to be a tech company, but it is actually a front for the Yunxiao Sect, a cultivation sect. They are developing a dangerous scheme called “Data Unification,” which aims to control global data flows and manipulate human thought.
As Lin Mo investigates, Su Yu suddenly disappears. He sneaks into her residence and discovers that she is a spy for the rival Data Sect. Even more shocking, Yunxiao Technology’s founder, Lin Tiancheng, may be the reincarnation of Lin Tianheng, an evil cultivator sealed away three hundred years ago. Lin Mo himself is a “data anchor,” a trait unique to those who have been reborn, and a key part of the “Data Unification” plan.
To rescue Su Yu and stop this conspiracy that could change the world, Lin Mo decides to become a double agent. He will publicly accept Lin Tiancheng’s invitation to become his personal disciple while secretly passing information to the Data Sect.
Lin Mo will head to the Yunxiao Sect’s base, where he must stay safe while searching for Su Yu. In this cultivation world woven from data and code, can he take control of his own destiny and prevent a data catastrophe?
