[On the night when the heavens collapsed, billions of stars fell like rain, and the bones of monks in the sky condensed into long bloody steps in the void - this was the apocalyptic scene repeated in Lu Chen's nightmare every night. When he discovered that the golden crow that was chopped off in his dream actually left burn marks in the real world, and the ancient inscriptions that appeared on his palm perfectly matched the bronze fragments unearthed by the archaeological team, the twenty-three-year-old graduate student finally realized that he might be the last living chess piece in this sky-killing chess game that spanned thirty-six epochs.
In the real world, spiritual energy is quietly reviving. The Zhou Dynasty sacrificial cauldron in the museum exhales purple energy, and the hermit at Zhongnan Mountain exhales quantum clouds. In the depths of the dream, Lu Chen stood on the Immortal Burial Platform, holding a rusty Dao sword with the word "Jie" in his hand. Every time he killed a puppet of the Dao of Heaven, one more ancient magical power awakened in reality. Until he met the woman in green with picturesque features in the ninth level of Mengyuan. The jade pendant around her neck was exactly the same as the relic of the senior sister who died in the archaeological team...
When the Gate of Return to Ruins with mechanical tentacles rose from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and the giant bronze coffin on the back of the moon oozed black blood, Lu Chen realized that the so-called "Great Terror" was the final chapter written by Heaven seven civilizations ago. He must take the soldiers who are cursed with immortality, the cyber monks who can control dark matter, and the Lord of the Nine-Tails Kingdom who walks out of the broken pages of "The Book of Mountains and Seas" to cut off the chain of cause and effect and rewrite the list of gods on the path of spiritual practice that interweaves virtuality and reality. And the sword wound that penetrated his nineteen reincarnations turned out to contain something that even heaven was afraid of - human love.
