After a ten thousand year cultivation journey to Divine Heaven Immortal Stage, Xu Tao finally transcended the heavens—only to be hurled into a full-dive VR desert survival game with nothing but his wits and zero spiritual power. Stripped of his Qi, weapons, cultivation base, and dignity, Xu Tao finds himself armed solely with millennia of hard-won knowledge and a malfunctioning "Lost System" that incessantly narrates his predicament.

Xu Tao didn't defy death and destiny to be conquered by a game—he's here to transcend this world too. But something else lurks beyond the dunes. Something unexpected. Something that changes everything...
