Urban Cultivation: From Code to the Dao

In 2077, the hyper-cyber metropolis of New Sky City boasts highly advanced technology, and humanity lives under the meticulously regulated order of the super AI “Skynet.” Chen Mo, a low-level programmer at an energy conglomerate, accidentally discovers that the “extra-dimensional energy source” his company is secretly researching bears a striking resemblance to the “spiritual qi” described in ancient texts. An accident during an experiment throws him into an energy maelstrom, triggering a bizarre transformation in his body and granting him a mysterious “data-driven cultivation System.”

Thinking he is about to embark on a legendary journey of urban cultivation, he discovers that the so-called “spiritual qi revival” is no accident. It is the initial “formatting” of Earth by a higher-dimensional civilization. Ancient cultivation sects, lurking demons from other realms, and observers from a technological civilization beyond the star sea all make their appearance.

Chen Mo, once an overworked office drone trapped in the 996 grind, draws on his deep understanding of code and the aid of the “data-driven cultivation System” to combine binary logic with the esoteric runes of the Dao, forging a path of cultivation unlike any before. Can he survive between the competing forces, protect his world, and ultimately uncover the truth behind the dimensional invasion? Will he ascend to immortality, or rewrite the laws of the universe with code? It all begins with a bug.
