As soon as he opens his eyes, top physicist Lin Mo finds himself in a dangerous forest in another world: bones broken, gravely injured, unable to speak the language, and without a trace of spiritual power. His only lifelines are a laptop with a shattered screen, a military knife, a mysterious quantum "beacon" in his backpack, and the modern scientific mindset that has kept him alive.
This isn't a martial arts world, but the brutal cultivation realm of the survival of the fittest: the Xuanhuang Realm! Spiritual roots determine one's fate, resources are monopolized, and the path to advancement has long been sealed shut. Gravely wounded and near death, surrounded by ferocious beasts, Lin Mo uses his chemistry knowledge to make a "poison gas bomb" and narrowly escapes death. He uses engineering techniques to bind and stabilize his broken bones so he can survive. He keenly realizes that "spiritual energy" may be a kind of observable, controllable "energy"! Runes are like circuits, pills are like reactions, and cultivation methods... are ripe for optimization!
