On his way back to his hometown, Chen Nian encounters a strange calamity and awakens an eye that can see the cracks between gods. He steps into the dark rift where the old and new gods wage war.

As a mere mortal, he becomes the sole link between humans and gods, between the old and the new, and stands against the cold data stream sweeping across the world.
