The Canglin Realm, where martial arts can reach the divine, is actually an experimental field where a higher civilization cultivates “Dao Resonance.” Whenever civilization flourishes to its peak, “heavenly disasters” arrive right on schedule, harvesting all life and resetting the cycle.
Bearing a mysterious ancient jade, Lu Chen transmigrates here. He thinks this is a fantasy world where the strong rule, until the “Eerie Night” descends and he witnesses martial arts grandmasters mutating grotesquely in the moonlight, their flesh and blood twisting as they babble in madness. Thanks to the ancient jade, he becomes one of the few who remain clear-minded, and comes to understand the “Heart Martial” path for resisting heavenly disasters.
But just as he believes he is fighting for humanity's survival, an even crueler truth gradually comes to light: the heavenly disasters are merely tools of the “Harvesters”; the world he inhabits is a prison; the ancient jade is civilization’s last “spark”; and his struggle may be pushing all of civilization toward an even greater final test…
This is a collision between martial arts and the eerie, and a war between civilization and its shepherds. Lu Chen will lead humanity through endless despair, igniting a civilizational flame called “resistance.”
