Lin Ye is a handsome "loser" trapped in the 996 grind. Crushed by the demands of office life and the burdens of daily existence, he can barely bring himself to harbor a secret crush. Then blood-red light tears across the sky, the earth splits apart, and an ancient teleportation array swallows civilization. The city becomes a fantasy-world hellscape, and the howls of shadow wolves spell the end of the laws of physics.
The apocalypse arrives. His coworkers either become corpses or descend into madness, while the ancestral jade pendant on Lin Ye's chest suddenly grows scorching hot. Drawing on a wage slave's grit and refusal to give up, he fights back with a paper cutter imbued with energy, and saves boxes of instant noodles as keepsakes of the old world. Amid the ruins of the city and fantastical wonders, he struggles to survive and forms the Wildgrass Crew so they can stick together and keep each other warm.
He ventures into the Nine Heavens, cultivating through a streetwise method that fuses coding logic with the cunning of the streets. He takes on arrogant prodigies and exposes the lie behind the monopoly on "heavenly spiritual roots." At the sect tournament, he uses a bloodstained fire axe to cleave through a rigid class system.
Then the truth about the "Era Selection" is revealed: the apocalypse is a cruel selection conducted by a higher dimension, and the powerful at the top of the Nine Heavens regard all living beings as cannon fodder. The ancestral jade pendant, the Boundary-Breaking Decree, holds the key to a destined battle against the outsiders known as the Void Clan. Once a wage slave, now he holds the key to rewriting the rules. On the final battlefield, he shoulders the "Corpse Sword," forged from the steel frames of skyscrapers. Behind him stand the awakened and the rebels. His blade points straight at the shadows of the Void and the decaying heavens that regard ordinary people as ants.
Watch as this urban wreckage wields an ordinary mortal's bones as a blade, carving a path to the heavens through fantasy and bloodshed for all those who refuse to give in!
