Yuan City collapsed overnight. A massive earthquake tore open a rift in the uninhabited zone, revealing an ancient city no one had ever seen before.
At the edge of the ruins, the official rescue team found two people badly injured and unconscious: Lin Wan and her amnesiac master, Lu Yuanzhou. Facial recognition confirmed that Lin Wan had been missing from S City for three months. The man beside her, however, didn’t exist in any records at all. He was a complete illegal resident.
The good news: she was alive. The bad news: an expert team had been attacked by unknown assailants as soon as they entered the uninhabited zone. They said “those things didn’t look human.”
Lin Wan tried to pass herself off as an ordinary person, but Lu Yuanzhou woke up. He couldn’t remember a thing, yet instinctively clung to her sleeve, pointing at traffic lights, elevators, and milk tea and asking, “What’s this?” The mighty Mahayana cultivator of Yuan City was now no different from a kindergartener.
She had to find her scattered teammates: a surgeon who had switched to food delivery, a top-tier star back on the scene and dominating trending searches, a missing IT guy, and a young woman from Yuan City who had ended up working as a stand-in on a film set. Finding them all was only the start of the trouble.
The Spirit Amber had vanished, and demons from another realm were hiding among the crowds. They were searching for something that could reopen the passage. And that something might be closer than she imagined.
Worse still, the demons weren’t just following her. They were scattered across every city, all doing the same thing.
