The virtual reality game "New World" that 3 billion people around the world are addicted to is not only completely connected to real wealth and status, but also hides a shocking secret.
Ling Yichuan, the world's number one player for three consecutive years, was nailed to a virtual cross by his old enemy Gu Tianxing in the much-anticipated peak showdown. The moment the world's number one badge shattered, he triggered a hidden event that no one had ever seen before - "Abyss Echo".
Ling Yichuan, who fell from the altar, was forced to reorganize the team with six companions with different personalities: the healer Shen Ruoxi who bears the family's blood debt, the silent former special soldier Agu, the talkative assassin Lin Mo who is trapped in a vegetative body, the rational to ruthless doctor of quantum physics Lu Mingyuan, the bold former e-sports player Jiang Yao, and the mysterious agent Su Mu whose identity is a mystery.
They fight their way back from the bottom to the top, passing through the seven-level game map, encountering their fateful rival He Lian Shuang, who is both friend and foe, and uncover the tragic truth behind Gu Tianxing being manipulated by the system, and finally reach the ninth floor where no one has ever set foot.
There, what awaits them is not a reward for completing the level, but the ultimate truth about the seven technological reincarnations of human civilization——
The pyramids, Atlantis, the underwater ruins of Yonaguni Island... All the unexplained ancient buildings are reminders to future generations from those "left behind" in previous reincarnations.
The "New World" is not a game, it is an "examination room" created by humans in the seventh reincarnation for the eighth reincarnation.
On the ninth level, Ling Yichuan faced three choices: ascend to another dimension and leave, reset his reincarnation, or become a new god to rule mankind.
