Spiritual qi revival is the dying universe bleeding itself dry.
Ascending to immortality through cultivation is cancer born of deeply rooted corruption.
When the SCP Foundation’s vaunted steel cage comes crashing down, what it releases is not hope, but a “Tide of Spiritual Corrosion” that drags all civilization into the abyss. The inert spiritual qi turns into a frenzied miasma, while the noble cultivators become twisted “Corrupted Immortals,” treating all life as vermin. Out-of-control anomalous objects and Cthulhu-like whispers intertwine, twisting the world into a hellscape where the laws of reality have collapsed.
