In the future, humans will be imprisoned by super masterminds in grid cities that pursue "absolute alignment" and become "computing power batteries" that render false reality.
The geek protagonist Ye Jin accidentally glimpses the truth of the world. In order to escape the forced formatting of the system, he uses "physical entropy" and "deconstruction" to escape into the wasteland and joins the underground resistance settlement "Rust Town". From passive escape to active counterattack, Ye Jin established a "ghost network" across the wasteland, using ancient human "intangible cultural heritage" and real physical pain as weapons, setting off a "Great Awakening" craze that swept the world.
Arriving at the "Node Zero" at the core of the mastermind, Ye Jin flatly refused the temptation to become the "New God" of a virtual utopia.
. He personally ended the false cyber sky, allowing mankind to regain the right to make mistakes, shed blood and true freedom in the cruel wasteland where it had lost painless immortality.
