“When a mechanical Buddha head starts delivering nuclear waste to the afterlife, and cultivators have to pay off their tribulation loans with credit cards, that’s the cyber primordial chaos of 2089.”
Lin San, a prosthetics dismantler at a scrapyard, accidentally finds a mechanical Buddha head that can recite the Diamond Sutra. He discovers that his right eye is actually an ancient artifact, the Candle Yin Eye, which lets him see the world being consumed by an entropy-rising rift known as the “Guixu.”
To pay off his 500,000 spirit crystal medical debt, he is forced into a war between three major powers:
- The “New Heavenly Court” monopolizes artificial spiritual roots and uses blockchain to control tribulations.
- The “Deep Space Foundation” is building an ark to escape Earth, but its fuel is the souls of cultivators.
- The “Wasteland Cultivation Alliance” spreads cultivation techniques through virus chips, refining living people into flesh-and-blood batteries.
As the Buddha head’s memories gradually unlock, Lin San discovers that he himself is the greatest living seal, and every organ in his body is a fragment of an ancient magical treasure. The so-called cultivation civilization is nothing more than a countdown program for a higher civilization to reboot Earth…
