In 2049, the mysterious “National Destiny Werewolf” System is forced online, with nations as the gambling table and eight billion people as the stakes. China starts with no special roles and 1.4 billion ordinary citizens, and its fate hangs by a thread.
Nobody knows that the real “dealer” is hiding behind the counter of an internet cafe.
Gu Xun, a former world champion codenamed “No. 0,” holds the sole “card swap” privilege. He can secretly alter identities, auction off special roles, and upgrade technology. Working behind the scenes, he plants Seers, Witches, and Guards in China's ranks, turns enemy werewolves into his own bodyguards, and even unlocks quantum communications and room-temperature superconductivity in the real world, sending national strength soaring.
When Eagle Sauce leads 195 countries in a hunt for “No. 0,” the System activates “Hunter Mode,” bringing out top assassins, a queen of public opinion, and financial oligarchs in turn. Gu Xun lays three layers of dreams, tricks the whole world into voting for him, and deliberately loses his memory, while leaving a fatal backdoor in the rules:
“Exile me, and your next dealer will be the China you hate most.”
Overnight, 1.4 billion “hidden special roles” reveal themselves. The rest of the world has none, and China wins outright.
Having lost his memory, Gu Xun returns with a prearranged memory backup and upgrades Earth into the “Eternal House.”
From internet cafes to the sea of stars, from Werewolf games to the cosmic singularity, humanity fights back at every turn.
When the “Silent Hunter” seeks to silence the solar system, and the “Paradox Judge” wagers the laws of the universe, Gu Xun and his successor Luo Lin wield human nature as a blade and logic as a shield, writing the final foundational protocol in the gods' game:
[Right to Choose]: Every civilization has the right to refuse a destiny imposed upon it.
May our land remain at peace, and our national destiny endure;
May the game go on, and humanity live forever.
