In 2530, human society ushers in its fifth technological revolution, and worship of technology reaches unprecedented heights.
The worship of technology gives rise to new gods in a new divine age. The old gods lose their worshippers' faith and gradually fall into slumber.
The old gods decline, and the new gods rise.
But one unlucky old god, responsible for wealth and fortune, is barely kept from vanishing by his dwindling faith.
Shi Wumian thus becomes the last forgotten god of the old divine age.
To awaken his fellow old gods, he has no choice but to wander the mortal world like an ascetic monk, gathering faith.
“Why not become a celebrity? You're so good-looking, lots of people are bound to like you.”
The boss coaxes him with a beaming smile.
As if under a spell, Shi Wumian nods.
Shi Wumian looks at his wildly popular teammate, who has become a sensation before even debuting, and falls into thought. So many people like him. So much faith. I'm so hungry. I want to eat it.
The wildly popular teammate under his gaze, Xie Xingyang: ? Why does he look like he wants to eat me?
Not only is faith hard to gather, but Shi Wumian also has to deal with the new gods hunting him down.
[Initiate formatting!]
The new gods summon their mechanical avatars, intent on erasing Shi Wumian's divine soul.
The long blade in Shi Wumian's hand flashes, and the mechanical avatars crash to the ground.
[Cybernetic divine descent!]
The new gods arrange a summoning array to call their chief god. If they can't beat him, why not call the boss?
Wait a minute. The chief god of these new gods, the big boss behind the most fervent AI technology in human society, whose form was born from that technology...
Why does he look so much like the boy band teammate of the person they're hunting?
[If you have no faith left, then let me become your believer.]
