The Fourth Calamity: You Call This an Online Game World?

Top-tier gamer Cheng Zhi wakes up in another world, having become an NPC in a human race on the brink of extinction. With an orc massacre set to hit the city in three days and civilization's countdown ticking away, he activates the "Myriad Worlds Gene Editor" and binds a fragment of the World Tree. He then packages this real, brutal otherworld as the fully immersive VR game Rise of Humanity.

Using his own body as a server and paying the price of having his soul altered, he summons a thousand hardcore players from Earth. These fearless, prank-loving bug hunters turn a grim struggle for survival into a ridiculous carnival: paladins taunt bosses with their pants down, healers set fires to roast meat and lure monsters, streamers slide across the battlefield and get their whole raid killed, and rich players shower everyone with money only to become the butt of jokes across the internet.

Through the players' absurd antics and passionate battles, the human race begins to find hope in its desperate situation. Behind the scenes, Cheng Zhi endures the pain of his body turning to wood while protecting the truth behind this deception. As the players gradually uncover the secrets of the World Tree fragment, and the boundary between game and reality begins to blur, this "game" created in the name of salvation will ultimately reveal the heavy price of reaching beyond dimensions.
