When rule-based horrors descend, the entire world is plunged into a brutal contest over national destiny. After repeated defeats, Huaguo teeters on the brink of collapse. Its top talents have suffered devastating losses, the phantom golden dragon has dimmed, and the lifeline of the nation hangs by a thread.
Zhuge Ming, a scholar of Three Kingdoms history, is in truth the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang. He knows exactly who he is, and the ambitions and regrets of the campaigns at Mount Qi are etched into his very bones. As the nation faces disaster, he discovers the forbidden art of the “Seven-Star Life-Extending Formation” hidden in ancient texts. Resolutely using his own soul as a catalyst, he attempts to defy fate and becomes a “Fate Defier,” forcing his way into the world of rule-based horrors.
Just as he once did at Wuzhang Plains, attempting the impossible, Zhuge Ming enters the game and steps into the clockmaker’s attic. Faced with eerie clocks, a mysterious clockmaker, and unknown rules, he must use his wisdom and courage to win Huaguo a sliver of hope in this battle to the death, and write a new legend worthy of a great strategist.
