Qi Yao was ridiculed by the entire Internet as a good-for-nothing dude who relied on his family's legacy to live and die. Little did he know that he was already the "Lord of Shadows" at the end of the dark web, controlling the global black market, arms chains, and neural hacker networks. Lu Zheng, the military's top hunter, was ordered to eliminate "abnormal elements". However, while tracing a series of unsolvable shady stories, he discovered that the target was actually Qi Yao, who had been stepped into the mud by his own hands. When the military's quantum chain penetrated into the core of the dark web, and when the global dark web system collectively bowed its head to Qi Yao, Lu Zheng realized that the so-called waste was just a god disguised in mortal skin.
