"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how. But glory… glory is the answer. Glory will outlive flesh and bones. Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality." ~~~~ Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it. "Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!" --- “…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

1000 years ago, the humans of the Blue Planet, who were venturing into space for the first time, accidentally entered an alternate dimension battlefield. The world entered the cultivation age. With the core of stars as their foundations, they activated talents and tempered the star veins. They were called the star warriors. Lu Lin, who had transmigrated to this world, activated double talents during his national examinations: His star power was doubled, so his combat flight time approached infinity. His potential was doubled, so his double talents would improve each other. His combat ability was doubled, so his sensing ability could help him easily find his opponent’s weak spots. His survival ability was doubled. By seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, he became the survival master in this alternate dimension. His threatening presence was doubled. With a death stare, he could rob the enemy of their will and leave them helpless to the slaughter. Many years later, Lu Lin was given the titles Demon King of Humans, Incredible Perpetual Motion Engine, Human Techniques Collection, The Nightmare of the Other Races, Battlefield Treasure Harvester, Desolate Environment Survival Master, Universe Lord of Fortune, Secret Zone Overseer, etc. When he was being interviewed, he said, “I truly am just an ordinary person. If you wish to do what I did, it is actually very simple—you just need a pair of eyes.”

Lu Wu, an aimless video game developer, had been feeling perturbed ever since he found out he was the direct descendant of a king from the underworld. Other than the title, His Excellency, his ancestor hadn't passed down anything else to him. On top of that, all of his ancestor’s subordinates had rebelled against him and completely usurped his inherited territory. Under the circumstances, Lu Wu built a battle game server with the help of his new mysterious friend and transported gamers from the real world straight to the underworld using virtual reality. They then created the main quest, the character classes, the Instance Dungeon, the storyline, and the non-player characters for the game. Relying solely on these video gamers’ strengths, Lu Wu began his expedition to reclaim his rightful inheritance. What could possibly go wrong?
