In 2149 AD, spiritual energy revived and the world entered the era of "cyber immortality".
Spiritual energy has been digitized, practice has been systematized, and everyone must be connected to the "spiritual network" to practice. Skills, resources, lifespan, authority, and even a person's fate are all strictly divided.
The Central Immortal Capital is high above the world, and uses the "Tianyan Spiritual Network" to rule the world, maintain order, and control all living beings.
Some people think that this is the best era - spiritual energy is abundant, all dharma is prosperous, and everyone can practice immortality.
Some people also believe that this is the biggest prison - practice is no longer free, and the path of immortality has become a carefully managed authority game.
Three hundred years ago, a group of people tried to break all this.
They established the "Free Dao Realm" and wanted to find a third way that was not attached to the spiritual network and not bound by rules.
But in the end, the free realm was destroyed, all the resisters were buried, and the world was left with only one answer:
Order above all else.
Until the young man Lu Ye, who was on the verge of ruining the city, accidentally inherited the last fire of the free realm.
From that moment on, an issue that had been blocked for three hundred years was brought up again——
The price of living is to lose the right to choose forever.
So, does such immortality count as a true immortality?
