In the year 217 of the New Era, Earth has become a wasteland overrun by radiation and mutated beasts. While cooking instant noodles at the ruins of the Dragon Gate Inn, Lin Feng unexpectedly awakens the "Eye of Ten Thousand Worlds." Not only can he see through rifts in space and time, he's also forced to take over the Divine Pet Hotel, which connects to countless worlds. Vermilion Bird squats in the lobby, sneaking spicy snacks, while Azure Dragon hangs out in the kitchen, obsessed with livestreaming. When night watchman Su Jiuli barges in with a wanted notice, and the Blackstar Merchant Guild's mecha beast runs off with the Illustrated Classic of Mountains and Seas cookbook, Lin Feng discovers that the fragment of the Imperial Jade Seal at the bottom of his noodle bowl is the key to reigniting the spark of civilization.
On one side is Old K, a mechanic who uses the Exploitation of the Works of Nature to fix Wi-Fi. On the other is Xiao Qi, a mystic fox who uses the River Map and Luo Writing to order takeout. In the midst of quantum storms, Lin Feng hoists a Luoyang shovel and declares, "Who says you can't save the world while hot-potting and singing?" From sealing Xing Tian with shadow puppetry to feeding Taotie river-snail rice noodles, this adventure spanning three thousand years proves one thing: no matter how savage the mutated beast, it can never beat a bowl of authentic pickled cabbage noodles from an old crock.
