Heaven’s way has been infected with a virus, turning the cultivation world into one giant sanity-draining nightmare. Gu Zhanye, an unlucky bastard sacrificed by his unscrupulous adoptive father, has been gifted with “underworld-style AR vision” in his right eye. Every day, he is forced to behold indescribable, filthy qi, while his right arm occasionally tries to cosplay as a tentacle monster.
He had planned to tag along with “Heaven’s Chosen” Bai Fengchen and make something of himself. But it turned out the guy was the ultimate workaholic, and in pursuit of better performance metrics, he turned around and blood-sacrificed the entire Bai Luan Alliance. With his best friend turned demon and his companions caught in the crossfire, Gu Zhanye can only shoulder his great halberd, Shattered Delusion, and set out on the road to revenge in a cultivation world where everyone’s sanity is steadily slipping. This is a fiery, sanity-draining struggle of ordinary people against a collapsing Heaven’s way, and against the rat race.
