When Cang Lin, who was in the world of Dharma-ending cultivation, fell into the "Gap Corridor" in an experimental accident, he discovered that this chaotic land connecting countless fragments of realms was not a survival game at all - it was a slaughterhouse that swallowed hope.
The aura of cultivation, the sword intention of martial arts, the contract of magic, the machinery of cyberspace, the chaos of Cthulhu... Here, all rules are twisted into fatal traps. The core of the corridor uses "returning to the hometown" as bait, driving "corridors" from all realms to kill each other, and the so-called "clearance reward" is nothing but a curse that turns losers into monsters.
Cang Lin was forced to form a team with the cyborg mercenary Tie Che, the spirit-planting girl He Miao, the deformed warrior Jiao Tu, and the mysterious boy Kong Yan who could see the rules. What they have to face is not only the faceless stewards in the steam train, the Lord-killing Sword Spirit in the Abyss of Cultivation, the AI that tampered with memory in the cyber city, but also the World Eater Guild that believes in "destruction is rebirth" - a group of madmen who actively sacrifice their souls for the core.
When the fragments of the Creation Key were put together in a pool of blood, Cang Lin finally saw the truth: the corridor was originally a bridge to repair the broken universe, but it was turned into a cage by the twisted consciousness at the core. What these "boundary breakers" want to do is not to escape, but to use the energy of cultivation, the gears of machinery, the vitality of spiritual plants, and even the bonds between each other to reshape a path of survival that connects all realms.
"They say this is the end, I say - it's the beginning."
