In 2999 AD, virtual reality technology reached its peak. The retro cultivation online game "The Calamity Returns" is popular all over the world. Players think it is entertainment, but they do not know that they are stepping into a carefully designed "sacrifice plan" - the controller behind it is quietly plundering the players' precious "cultivation skills" in reality through the game, maintaining the privileges of a few people.
High school student Meng Qi, a talented young man who was strictly prohibited from playing this game by his father, finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and sneaked in secretly. When creating a character, the system showed that he had an incredible 81 points of innate acuity. He was instantly labeled as a "genius" and became the coveted and vigilant target of all forces.
By mistake, Meng Qi became a disciple of Shen Gongbao, the famous "disaster star" of the gods, and became an "evil cultivator" spurned by the three worlds. With extraordinary insight, he gradually discovered the weird smile behind the NPC, the sacrifice trap hidden in the mission, and the cold truth surging under this seemingly absurd and free game world.
From a battlefield scavenger in the virtual world to a counterattacker awakening in reality, Meng Qi had to fight on both fronts inside and outside the game. While working with the master Shen Gongbao, who is both good and evil, in the Ten Jue Formation and the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, he plundered chestnuts from the fire and plundered the strange orifices to grow rapidly; while he explored the secret of the "self-collapse program" buried by his father, the original architect of the game, and faced the bloody game between "conservatives" and "scholars" in the real world.
When the Tribulation of the Gods begins again in the real world, Meng Qi must make a choice: Should he plunder sentient beings to achieve self-cultivation and cultivate "oneself" as an immortal? Or will you risk yourself in disaster and pave the way for others to become gods? His answer will determine the future of both worlds.
