In the near future, in 2080, Binhai City on Blue Star is the central metropolis. Human technology has entered the age of genetic energy, quantum machinery, bionic intelligence, and energy weapons. Powerful elite families and financial conglomerates control cutting-edge technology and monopolize society's resources. Beneath the Earth's surface lie ancient cultivation ruins and pocket dimensions sealed by ancient gods. As the seals weaken, spiritual energy gradually returns, and traditional reclusive cultivation sects reemerge in the world. The spread of the ancient gods' sinister power and humanity's excessive exploitation of the planet's energy trigger a series of apocalyptic disasters. Human nature collapses, civilization teeters on the brink of ruin, and a chaotic era takes shape, with technology, cultivation, the uncanny forces of ancient gods, and apocalyptic disasters all intertwined.
