Lin Yexi, a penniless homebound gamer, tormented the female sword immortal Jiang Shiyuan in the game *Eternal Night Divine Ruins*. After he quit the game, Jiang Shiyuan gained self-awareness and crossed over to reality to seek vengeance at his rental apartment. Lin Yexi calls himself a 'growing god', using abilities such as save-loading, time acceleration, and self-created cultivation techniques to reach an agreement—he helps her rebuild the Lunar Shadow Sect and find her missing elder sister, while she boosts his reputation and earns money for him. The two travel between reality and the cultivation world, contending against other sects, safeguarding intellectual property, creating cultivation-era smartphones, and launching livestreams. Gradually, affection grows between them, and they uncover the truth behind the Divine Ruins and the great catastrophe that befell the cultivation realm.
