The protagonist Chen Pi, an illegal prosthetic body repairman living in a garbage dump in Xiacheng District, one day dug out a strange chip from a scrapped corpse - it was an "electronic relic" covered with rust.

This is not just cultivation, it is a violent crackdown on the underlying logic of the world.
