Li Ran transmigrated to a strange world filled with Taoist magic and demons. This world was a mixture of humans, demons, evil spirits, and monsters, but the immortals and Buddhas were nowhere to be found. The orb of light within his body not only allowed him to learn Taoist magic at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, but it could also take him back to his original world after he had killed enough demons. Upon returning, he discovered that the original world was not what he had imagined at all. Although there was no spiritual energy of heaven and earth, there were still demons and monsters here. In order to fight against the demons, cultivators had found alternative paths and could still cultivate. He travels back and forth between two worlds, fighting demons and protecting the righteous. The two worlds are subtly connected in every way. What is the truth of the world? And why was he chosen? How can he find a way out of the unknown?

37 years old, laid off. I can only earn a living by writing mini-programs at home. I can't even afford cat food anymore. One late night, I suddenly received a message from my ex-wife: "I'm dying." I was shocked: "What happened? Where are you?" Her reply shocked me even more: "I am in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, come quickly." Datang Chang'an is a high-end theme park opened by the wealthy Zheng Qianji. It is a one-to-one replica of Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty. It also used a large number of robot NPCs. As long as you have money, you can play the role of a swordsman and assassinate the emperor. You can also let loose and be unrestrained in Pingkangfang. Why did his ex-wife go there? What danger did they encounter this time? But after that, no matter what messages I sent, she didn't reply. I booked a ticket, boarded a plane, and after many twists and turns, arrived in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. All the tourists around him were in high spirits. Only I am burdened with worries. Fear followed. Wearing AR glasses, he was able to see his ex-wife's image. She scolded me for not going to the "ghost market" to find her. You can ask everyone— There was no "ghost market" in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone else was watching Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Consort Yang in Xingqing Palace Square. But I was dragged out of the city gate by mechanical hounds. A machine warrior almost buried me alive. I witnessed my boss, who had laid me off, being killed by a robot. In the blink of an eye, he was back in another vibrant place. Everyone in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was living a life of decadence and debauchery. I am the only one struggling to survive. When I finally found my ex-wife, the crisis completely erupted: The robots blocked all communication channels between Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the outside world.
