Yao Siyuan, an ordinary urban white-collar worker, squeezes into the subway, works overtime, and eats takeout every day, and his life is uneventful. Until one day, he accidentally discovered that his mobile phone could receive messages from the "God Chat Group". The "gods" in the group discussed how to harvest faith, manipulate people's hearts, create disasters, and even plan to destroy cities. Yao Siyuan originally wanted to be a melon-eater, but due to an accident, his identity as a "mortal" was exposed. He was regarded as a "heretic" by the gods and was hunted down. In order to protect himself, he began to use the information in the group to avoid divine punishment while secretly sabotaging the gods' plans, gradually changing from a chess piece to a chess player. He continues to grow, using wisdom and courage to fight against the superior gods, and finally discovers that the so-called gods are just parasites that steal faith, and the real power of mortal faith is far above the gods.
