When the Sanxingdui Bronze Sacred Tree awakened in a VR game, 32,000 players around the world became brain-dead living sacrifices. Jiang Xuan, a restorer of cultural relics from the Forbidden City, saw the reflection of the curse on his right hand that was turned into wood in the brainwaves of a comatose person. In order to save the common people, he was forced to become a "craftsman":
[Reverse Life Lock]: Use the mechanism of the Warring States Period to seal the resentful souls of ancient objects, at the cost of turning every inch of flesh and blood into agarwood.
[Dream Blade]: Recreate historical tragedies into VR copies, allowing players to find a glimmer of hope in the bloody maze. However, what he has to face is not only the anti-relic worship organization [Reverse Life Society] that desires to "purify" mankind, but also the crazy philosophical critics who lurk in the dark and use ashes to make tea. When the bronze carriage from Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum crushed Chang'an Street, and when Lu Bansuo, who raised hundreds of millions through crowdfunding, scanned the QR code and displayed a death notice, the boundary between reality and illusion collapsed.
Is he an enemy or a friend?
The cybernetic yandere in a wheelchair secretly collected the fragments of his petrified body; the academic madman who sacrificed his right eye feverishly recorded the collapse of every inch of his flesh and blood.
Deep in the Forbidden City, a line of thousand-year-old blood words slowly seeped out: "Next, it's you."
Can he solve the ultimate mystery of whether human beings are creatures of gods or the remnants of civilization before they "wither" completely?
