When cultivating immortality becomes repaying a loan, ascension becomes uploading——
Lin Yue, a contract worker at Tianji Group, has a monthly salary of 4,000 and a debt of 180,000.
The moment the layoff notice arrives, the debt collection system starts a 72-hour countdown: "Your prosthetic body will be recycled in 72 hours."
In the scrapyard, a piece of bronze fragment allowed him to see the memory of his previous life - he was once a tribulation monk, and disappeared into ashes on the day when his spiritual energy became irrelevant.
"Taixu Tianyan Jue" awakens in the code. He discovered that ancient formations can invade the spirit network, weapon refining techniques can modify discarded prosthetics, and alchemy techniques can crack the patents of martial arts.
But he soon discovered that the decoherence of spiritual energy was not a natural disaster, but a man-made "Tianzhu Project" two hundred years ago. The five major chaebols monopolize the spirit network and use human consciousness as fuel.
And his "awakening" is just the last pawn in this gamble that spans two hundred years.
The disaster is coming. The consciousness of all mankind will be forcibly uploaded - eternal life, or loss of freedom.
He only had a golden elixir in his hand, a book of last words, and a question:
The door is in your heart - do you dare to push it open?
