Welcome to New Victoria, a cybernetic cage ruled by the super AI "Heavenly Dao Mainframe"!
Here, spiritual roots determine social class, code is the law, and cultivation means programming!
Lin Mo, a "code scavenger" struggling at the very bottom, unexpectedly gains the "GM Spiritual Root," which connects him to the world's backend!
From that moment on, his life takes a completely different path to advancement!
Pick up a discarded circuit board → compile it into a [Reconnaissance Mechanical Cockroach], and get a full map view!
Hack into part of the city's traffic network → gain [Temporary GM Permissions], and take control of every traffic light!
Copy an attack from a "Law Enforcer" → gain the [Heavenly Punishment Sniper Module], and repay your enemy in kind!
Devour the divine ability of the "Heavenly Dao's Chosen" → install it in my [Personal Firewall], boosting my defense by 1000%!
While every cultivator fights to the death for a wisp of "data spiritual energy," Lin Mo is already treating the whole city's network signals like an all-you-can-eat buffet!
While the top geniuses are still agonizing over breaking through to the "Golden Core Stage," Lin Mo has already started writing antivirus software for his own "Golden Core"!
Years later, Lin Mo stands before the "Heavenly Dao Mainframe" in near-Earth orbit.
He speaks slowly:
"Your world is terribly coded. I'm not here to ascend today. I'm here to do a complete system reinstall!"
