In the not-too-distant future, spiritual energy is no longer a gift from heaven and earth, but a private asset monopolized by Tiandao Company. Dantian has become a "biological reactor", cultivation has become a "system upgrade", and spells have become "plug-ins" that require paid authorization. The version number of the spiritual root chip determines the fate of a person's life. Chen Mo is a scavenger at the bottom of Tianxuan City, making a living by disassembling the remaining chips in electronic waste. Until that rainy night, he dug out a piece of metal without a serial number from the depths of the garbage mountain—that was the "Original Scripture." A piece of legendary underlying source code that drives the aura of heaven and earth, a root authority that can bypass the authorization system and directly read and write the underlying logic of the world. The Tiandao Company spent twenty years hunting down everyone who knew its whereabouts. And now, it's in the hands of an unknown person. From the underground waste area to the cloud temple, from the foundation-building monks to the god-level AI will, a low-level scavenger will rewrite the world's underlying protocols with code, turning the sky that has been sealed for twenty years blue again. The deep collision between cyberpunk and immortal culture. When spiritual roots turn into chips, when ascension turns into system upgrades - cultivating immortality has never been so cybernetic.
