An archaeological team venturing deep into Yunnan’s Ailao Mountains accidentally uncovers a long-buried taboo of an ancient kingdom.
It is no hoard of gold and silver, but a mycelial art that has lain dormant for a thousand years.
The team members begin changing one after another, mycelium spreading beneath their skin as the buried throne of the Mycelial Core stirs.
Lin Lang, a psychic member of the team, discovers that her blood carries both the pure blood of the guardians and the mycelial authority of the royal family.
Will she become the “Purifier” who cleanses everything, or the “New King” who commands all fungi?
When the ancient “Mycelial Mother” beneath the earth fully awakens, all of the Ailao Mountains will become fertile ground for her spread.
Survival or destruction, balance or consumption?
Her choice will decide everything.
