The narrative centers on a modern war in which the ancient deity Mote attempts to overturn human civilization and reboot the age of gods.
★ The core premise—the "Virtual World Hypothesis"—tackles Matrix-style questions: Is our world merely a projection of a higher reality? If everything is a program, what is the meaning of human civilization?

Description
A war spanning tens of thousands of years between evil spirits (the gods) and guardians (the demons) is drawing to a close. A millennia-old conspiracy gradually comes to light, and the guardians Shen Xiaoqi and Sean must join forces to prevent the fall of human civilization. In the course of this confrontation, the origin of the world and all its anomalies are unveiled through scientific constructs—the virtual world hypothesis and the concept of observational degree.
