My name is Jiang Chen, 23 years old, a mecha maintenance worker in the ruins of Nancheng. Three years ago, my father was convicted as an interstellar traitor and died on the execution ground. My mother cried blindly and followed him away. I was digging through garbage and repairing scrap metal by myself, living like a wild dog. Life is passable but life is worthless.
Until I picked up four wastes that were about to starve to death in the ruins, a scrapped mechanical spider, and an old bone ring from my father.
Hidden in the bone ring is something called the "Shelter of All Realms" - one that can swallow all things, contract with strange beasts, and take in the lives of brothers. The spider came alive and turned into an iron egg; the trash stood up and was nicknamed the "Five Lives of Nancheng"; we killed the insect mother, penetrated the ruins, and were watched by the whole network.
But Earth is just the starting point. Patrolling beasts from the psychic plane are squeezing in through the cracks, and higher-level people are handing out maps, clues, and setting traps. No matter which floor the five people climbed to, someone tried to push them back down.
From mortal weapons to spiritual weapons, from astral weapons to divine weapons, the villains at each level are more ruthless than the previous one, but we risk our lives to fill every pitfall. The brothers block each other's swords, and the alien beast army follows to clear the way. The heroine Shen Qianxue changes from a cold commissioner to a person who fights side by side.
I have conquered enemies, lost comrades, left half of my life on the previous level, and continued climbing up with the remaining half.
This book is not about a person becoming a god. It is written that after five dead lives come together, no one can make us kneel down again.
There are all ants in the chaos, five lives is not too much, it is enough.
