Worldbuilding
On the night of the blood moon in 2025, the truth is revealed: thirty-six "spiritual qi shackles" have been sealed within human DNA.
An ancient spirit-locking array on the far side of the moon has been damaged. The spiritual qi revival triggers the restart of a mechanism that selects civilizations.
As modern technology collides with occult horrors, and genetic engineering meets cultivation techniques, a "dimensional war" that will decide humanity's survival erupts in the shadows of the city.
Central Character
Chen Du
By day, he is a delivery rider struggling to make ends meet. By night, he becomes the Host of Taotie.
His left hand devours strange entities to unlock supernatural abilities, while his right arm mutates into bone to resist cognitive contamination.
Drawn into a shocking conspiracy while trying to save his terminally ill mother, he discovers that:
- The hospital where she undergoes dialysis every week is actually a clone factory
- The woman connected to him by blood, his "mother," is the 299th-generation spirit-locker
- He himself is a "human vessel" carrying an ancient ferocious beast
High-Concept Conflicts
- The Cycle of Civilizations: Humanity is a "Dao seed" planted by an alien civilization, and every three hundred years, a spiritual qi tide purges the world
- The Shackles Paradox: The thirty-six gates in human DNA are both restraints and protection. Those who break through them will face the universe's dark forest
- The Cognitive Filter: Modern science is merely a prison of perception created by the spirit-locking array,
The plot is novel and unique, worth watching, highly recommended!
