★ When a crimson meteor erases Earth’s technology overnight, Chen Ling discovers that the only barrier between order and annihilation is a theater inside his body, ruled by an audience that demands lethal entertainment. To survive the apocalypse—and learn the final truth—he must perform. And the crowd must be pleased.

A crimson meteor streaked across the sky, and the pyramid of civilization built by modern science came crashing down. From that day onward, people could no longer build rockets, nuclear weapons, airplanes, or cars, and the entire world fell into stagnation. Even more deadly, a gray parallel world descended like a ghostly reflection behind a mirror, gradually dragging the old order into the abyss of chaos and disorder.

In an age where human life is as insignificant as dust, the protagonist, Chen Ling, originally an intern director in a modern theater, died in an earthquake and unexpectedly found himself transported to this perilous, mysterious world. He soon realized he harbored a strange theater and a group of beings called “audience” within him, whose “expectation levels” directly influenced his fortunes, turning his life into a cruel performance under dual “viewing”: only by staging high-tension “acts” could he raise the audience’s expectations and earn extraordinary rewards; if the performance faltered, the audience would break the fourth wall and personally bring disaster upon him.

To survive, he donned blood-colored stage garments, put on a mask, and became “Red Heart Six”, navigating between law enforcement agencies, terrorist organizations, and god-worshiping cults, gradually unveiling the truth behind the crimson meteor: it was no natural calamity, but a “scripted murder game” deployed by an advanced civilization; the so-called God of Theater was an aggregation of audience emotions, and he himself had been chosen as the lead performer.

The eighteen paths to divinity are eighteen scripts; completing them means ascending to godhood. In the final act, he must decide: A. follow the script and become a god, leaving the ruined Earth; B. tear up the script, use stage effects to drag the audience from their throne, and reboot human civilization.

This time, the actor is no mere performer—he is the director, the playwright, and the judge.
