Tech upstart Lin Xiu was originally a business elite in Lingshu City, but after a strange "time fold", his life trajectory completely deviated! The ancient mirror key flashed away, the starry sky dream whispered "The end of the law has begun", the mysterious rune appeared on the forehead, and the dormant senses suddenly awakened!
When the prosperous city was reduced to a hunting ground in the "End of Dharma Era", the ancient inheritance of "cultivation" quietly revived under the neon light and shadow. A book called "First Interpretation of Cultivation", a strange bead containing "source essence", and a rare "star spirit pattern" that was unexpectedly awakened, drew him into the center of the whirlpool.
On one side is the technology giant "Lingxin Technology" that controls the future. It is secretly mining "Essence", implementing the "Spirit Vein Map" and "Plan C", trying to decode and even control cultivation with technology; on the other side is the mysterious organization "Guiyuan Pavilion" that has been passed down for thousands of years, guarding the ancient order in the shadow of the city, and guarding against the backlash of the end of the world.
Dealing between the two major forces, Lin Xiu was frightened every step of the way. The ancient murals in the underground ruins, the inhumane experiments inside the spiritual core, the shocking secret that he was actually a clone of the "Star Project"... Every clue he came into contact with pointed to a huge conspiracy spanning ancient and modern times, as well as his fateful bond with the ancient star monks.
When the hands of science and technology want to touch the taboo of cultivation, when ancient visions are undercurrent in the city, and when identity and memory are fabricated, how should Lin Xiu make a choice? Are you willing to be a pawn, or are you taking charge of the stars and reversing this chaotic situation?
The source of essence is coming, the star gate is about to open, and a new era of urban cultivation begins with Lin Xiu's awakening!
