The Stardust Pact Code of the Immortals
The Hook: The Code and the Furnace
The Sky City of Olympus floats above the ruined Earth, treating the Wasteland below as a vast, toxic scrapyard. In the slums, Li Yunzhou, the last inheritor of a forgotten Cultivation lineage, survives by a single, desperate law: the All-Material Furnace Constitution. He consumes technological scrap—discarded chips, broken circuits, and volatile batteries—to forge them into powerful True Qi. When a life-threatening cultivation accident nearly kills him, he is saved by a chaotic sequence of alien code that embeds itself into his very soul.
The Core Conflict: Queen vs. System
This code belongs to Aria, a rogue Aether Administrator and one of Olympus’s most powerful architects, who was erased and hunted for discovering the Senate's darkest secret. Now reduced to a fragmented consciousness within Li Yunzhou’s mind, she is forced into a life-saving pact: she will teach him the Matrix Refining Divine Art—the art of seeing True Qi as flawless, executable code—and turn him into a supreme hacker-cultivator. In exchange, he must become her furnace, her eyes, and her physical anchor in a world trying to delete her from existence.
The Stakes: Against the Law Itself
Their unique alliance is immediately tested by Executive Zero, who seeks to retrieve Aria's "Defunct Code" and annihilate the Wasteland to protect the Senate’s control over the fabled Gate of Immortality. As Li Yunzhou ascends the ranks of cultivation, armed with code logic and pure Furnace power, the pair must fight their way through mechanical legions and higher-authority Executives who can rewrite the fundamental laws of physics. Their destiny is clear: breach the Sky City, reclaim Aria's identity, and expose the terrifying truth behind Olympus's false godhood.
