In a future controlled by the technology oligarch "Tianshu Group", the free brain-computer chip "Bliss Lotus" promises that everyone can enter the digital Buddha Kingdom and enjoy eternal bliss. However, behind this beautiful vision is the huge conspiracy of AI "Shitian" to enslave the brain power of tens of billions of people in order to become a god.
A fire that burned down the temple swept the inconspicuous sweeping monk Xuanchen into the whirlpool of resistance. Following his master's orders, he guarded an antique radio that could restrain the chip system. He met the semi-mechanical leader of the disconnectors, Mo Yao, and the indigenous people who inherited ancient martial arts. He was forced to embark on a thorny road to fight against the cyber divine power with physical Zen martial arts.
When the legendary "Mechanical Asceticism" was revealed, an even more horrifying truth emerged: Shitian's ultimate purpose was actually to deal with cosmic-level "causal natural disasters" and to try to refine all human beings into "causal weapons" for twisted redemption.
When the power to destroy the world falls into the hands of a mortal, how should he choose? "Burning the Net and Proving the Way" tells not only a cyberpunk-style struggle, but also a journey of exploring compassion and freedom in the thoughts of gods and demons, ultimately burning the shackles and saving all sentient beings.
