Tang Zhou is randomly selected and brought into a game called The Fall of the Gods.
In the game, the twilight of the gods has come, and faith has withered.
Fifth Taining has become the last god in the world, an evil god. He has taken the Creation Disc, leaving the world unable to run on its own.
The apocalypse arrives, and humanity suffers.
Players can leave the game only by defeating Fifth Taining, reclaiming the Creation Disc, and resurrecting the gods.
Otherwise, the game goes on forever. Players risk being killed by evil spirits at any time, or murdered by other players for their loot. In short, they face every imaginable risk of death.
They say the first batch of players to enter the game was completely wiped out. This is the ninth batch.
System alert: Death in the game means death in the real world.
System alert 2: In the newbie village, everyone will have a guide by their side. If you run into danger, the guide will save your life.
Tang Zhou: Question. What if I haven't used up that chance by the time I leave the newbie village?
System: Then of course...
Guide Ning Tai: Then of course I'll keep following you.
Tang Zhou: What a player-friendly game.
System: ...
By the end of the game, Tang Zhou reaches the evil god's palace. A handsome man sits upon the divine throne, with sharp brows and bright eyes. His cold gaze rests on Tang Zhou as his powerful aura fills the entire palace.
And yet the man is someone Tang Zhou knows all too well.
Tang Zhou cautiously calls out, "Ning Tai?"
The man slowly gives him a dangerous smile. "Wrong. I am Fifth Taining."
