Synopsis
Yi Wu enters a deadly arena competition with a countdown timer, forced to cooperate and compete to survive while uncovering a spiritual kingdom mystery.
Yi Wu was thrust onto the World Cup stage because of a single online "like." He then inexplicably appeared in a closed arena, where a countdown was implanted in everyone. To gain time to survive, they had to engage in a new, multi-strategy competition, escape perilous environments, and navigate secret chambers. This unique environment forced them to both cooperate and compete, and behind it all, a legend of a "spiritual kingdom" seemed to be circulating. (Source: iQIYI, translated)
