On my way home from work, I found a book of divine martial arts. Only later did I realize that what I had picked up was the tombstone of an entire civilization.
Lin Yu was an ordinary office worker struggling to survive in the steel jungle of the city. On a rainy night, in despair, he accidentally triggered a long-sealed mechanism inside an abandoned ancient building.
He obtained a mysterious cultivation manual called the Chaos Body Refining Art, along with a ring that held a world within it.
From then on, the gears of fate began to turn. He took on the urban gangs, trampled the martial arts clans, subdued his mortal enemies, and won the hearts of beautiful women... He thought he was on the path to becoming the strongest.
But as his power grew, the truth of the world peeled back like an onion, stinging his eyes and bringing tears to them.
· His enemies were antivirus programs tasked with maintaining the stability of the “world.”
· His close friend had been utterly forgotten by the world after a long wait.
· His beloved had fallen into the abyss for his sake, yet he had lost even the right to recognize her.
· His mentor had sacrificed his own existence to clear the way for him.
At last, he stood at the source of the universe, face to face with the final requiem of civilization:
Before him lay a beautiful, eternal shared dream.
Behind him lay the cruel, yet only, hope of reality.
Would he let billions of souls sleep peacefully in their beautiful dream, or lead them toward the perilous truth, risking almost certain death in a tragic leap into reality?
“Now it’s your turn.”
An epic about existence, memory, and choice, following a lonely god.
