A blood-stained one-dollar coin is Chen Mo's ticket from heaven to hell. Everything he once owned—family, dignity, and future—were swallowed up on the green velvet cloth of the gaming table, leaving behind only the ruins of ruined property and a broken family.
From the ashes of despair, an avenger named Ah Qi stood up.
Under the tutelage of A Gui, the mysterious and unpredictable old man from Qianmen, he not only learned the thousands of skills to steal the sky and change the sun, but also the dark aesthetics to penetrate people's hearts and shape the world. He struggled to survive in the sewage alleys in the north of the city, emerged with ruthlessness and strategy, and vowed to uproot the enemy who destroyed everything for him - the well-ordered dark emperor Zhao Jiulong, along with his intricate empire.
However, as Ah Qi gradually got deeper into the quagmire of power, he discovered that the real enemy was far more than just Zhao Jiulong. The cold behemoth "Shadow" that combines capital and technology has quietly emerged, and the morality of the old era is vulnerable to the dimensionality reduction attacks of the new era.
This is a revenge that started as a personal grudge, but eventually evolved into a war between two orders and two paths.
Ah Qi's growth is a triple leap from an avenger who "sees himself", to a leader who "sees all sentient beings", and finally to a night watchman who "sees the world". Under the swaying but firm guidance of Agui like a candle, he walks on the tightrope between divinity and demonic nature, facing the temptation of becoming a new god and the choice of protecting the glimmer of light in mortals.
Can he forge an immortal sword in the abyss, and can he not follow the same path after overthrowing the old gods and open up a new way of life for mortals in this steel forest?
This is a hurdle
