“Gods feed on humans, and I speak the language of gods.” When red rainstorms drowned the world, humanity finally heard the voices of the gods, and then went mad.
Lu Zhao woke up in a psychiatric hospital and discovered that he could hear the whispers of the Old Gods without going insane. In this apocalypse where “understanding brings corruption, and knowledge is a curse,” he is the only one who can defy the gods: he can translate their madness into information humans can understand, at the cost of randomly losing his memories.
The surface has become a wasteland. Underground, the “Guixu” shelters “Resonants” like him. Some say he is the key to saving humanity; others say he is the switch that will destroy the world. Lu Zhao only knows that he appeared thirty years ago, once stood beside a certain girl, and once set the world ablaze with his own hands in a certain timeline.
“This time, let’s try to do better.”
From the Red Tide Restricted Zone to the City of Faith, from time loops to the Twilight of the Gods, Lu Zhao searches countless timelines for an answer that can keep everyone alive. But when the truth is revealed, that the first god was born from humanity’s fear and the world is about to be “updated,” he must make a choice:
Become the god of the new world, or let humanity die in its ordinary existence.
