Chen Jin is a rare "awake person" in the world - amidst the ashes that swept the world, he remained awake and awakened in the craziest way: actively introducing the ashes of world destruction into his body.
He only wanted to save one person: his sister Lin Weiwei.
The price is that he can now see the real appearance of the world: the cracks in the rules all over the city, and the whispers behind the cracks.
He discovered that super awakening was just an appearance. The real war is fighting for the sequence fragments scattered in the "liminal labyrinth" - the authority left after the collapse of the old gods. If you step on the path of gods such as [Observer], [Puppet Master], and [Immortal], you can control reality, weave destiny, and even become immortal.
But every time you climb a step, the human part dies.
And his sister is the key to unlocking the source of all sequences.
As a result, three forces swept him into the whirlpool:
The collector, an elegant madman, wants to make Weiwei into the "ultimate collection";
The Guixu sect, fanatical believers, want to use her as a sacrifice to restart the world;
The Night Watch, the guardian of order, plans to sacrifice tens of millions of people to build the "Eternal Ark".
Chen Jin must become stronger and integrate more sequences. But the stronger he gets, the thinner his emotions become—warmth, fear, love, all gradually turn into cold data.
When the door to the end opens and the whispers turn into physical terror, he faces the final choice:
Sacrifice your loved ones, become a ruthless "god", and protect the cold order?
Should he embrace madness, become a "demon" that destroys the world, and wait for a vague rebirth in the ruins?
Or, at the last moment when humanity is burned out, risk everything and find a way that no one has ever seen before - the third way?
