Programmer Lin Feng transmigrates in a bizarre twist of fate while completing the 100-Star achievement in Honor of Kings on a stormy night. He opens his eyes to find himself in a boiling sacrificial blood pool inside a bronze cauldron. Armed with a quantum phone that never runs out of power, he saves the witch Su Jiu'er from being sacrificed, only to get caught up in the darkest technological secrets of the Great Xia Dynasty. When Honor of Kings on his phone transforms into a “Heavenly Secrets Atlas,” every 5v5 match becomes a key to unlocking the tech tree. Zhuge Liang's phantom lays out formations to repel the enemy, steam tanks crush the Iron Pagoda Troops, and Gundam mechs cleave open the Xuanwu Gate... Lin Feng establishes the King Academy in Jiangnan, overturns the imperial examination system with a ranking system, and uses the Rift as a chessboard to play against the lords of the realm.
Yet on the thirtieth day after his transmigration, when his phone battery drops below 15%, blood begins to seep from the taotie patterns on the bronze cauldron, and the smell of disinfectant from a modern hospital fills the battlefield. The future agent Black Phoenix arrives with a laser sword, revealing that this transmigration is actually a rehabilitation program for patients in vegetative states in the twenty-third century. As a nuclear reactor casts its shadow over Chang'an City and a quantum computer deciphers the cultivation techniques, Lin Feng must make a choice in the ultimate showdown: rewrite history with an army of mechs, or use his final 1% of battery to awaken himself in an ICU bed, hooked up to a tangle of tubes?
