With spiritual energy dwindling in the real world, everyone flocked to the full-dive online game The Era of Heavenly Dao to seek immortality and cultivate the Dao.
Lu Yuan was a low-level power-leveling player. After his father was silenced, a financial conglomerate blacklisted him across the internet, while in real life he was a “spiritual energy insulator” with no talent whatsoever.
At the end of his rope, he opened the “Heavenly Dao Bug Log” his father had left behind. It revealed everything about the cultivation world's underlying physics engine: spiritual energy refresh coordinates, skill wind-up times, collision boxes, and invincibility-frame windows!
When rich players spent billions of spirit stones on top-tier techniques,
Lu Yuan used terrain gaps to solo ancient divine beasts without taking a scratch.
When cultivation prodigies arrogantly unleashed world-destroying treasures, Lu Yuan dodged their screen-wide instant kills with a perfectly timed “invincibility-frame sidestep,” then took advantage of their recovery lag to finish them with a single sword thrust.
As he exploited bugs to speedrun the cultivation world, the game's data began restoring spiritual energy in the real world in turn.
When the “Cross-Realm Transmission Protocol” was deciphered, reality and the game completely merged, and gods and buddhas descended from the heavens.
But they discovered, to their horror, that the mortal without a single spiritual root had already exploited the mechanics to take his seat upon the throne of Heavenly Dao!
