An express delivery on a rainy night completely shattered Lin Shen's peaceful life.
When the navigation locates "No. 199 Linjiang Avenue" that does not exist at all, when the recipient's name melts into an ancient charm in the rain, and when the alienated security guard reveals his fangs intertwined with data and flesh from the shadows - the 27-year-old courier finally discovers that under the steel forest he travels through every day, there is a behemoth that has not awakened for thousands of years.
Thirty-six ancient formations in Linjiang City are awakening. The glass curtain walls of skyscrapers reflect the shadow of bronze armor. The delivery rider's battery cart runs over the bluestone slabs engraved with evil-suppressing mantras. The seven ancient artifacts leaked in the "Apocalypse Incident" twenty years ago have reappeared in the world, and the most dangerous fragments are sealed in the bronze box sent by Lin Shen.
Su Wan's appearance makes the truth even more confusing. This consultant to the Secret Bureau, who can control rivers, holds the same bronze compass that was used at the scene of Lin Shen's mother's death. The test report she brought showed that Lin Shen's iris pattern perfectly matched the core runes of the ancient formation base, and the spiritual base code flowing in his blood could actually activate the sleeping god-killing weapon.
