What do you mean, you ask? Do I choose technological ascension or sanctifying the flesh? Sorry, but I, Li Yu, want both!
A thousand-year dream, ascension to immortality.
All illusions, awakening alone is real.
Only then can the true self emerge and attain liberation.
Strengthen the foundations and cultivate the essence, sanctify the flesh.
Flesh and blood are frail, machines are eternal.
When the mind surpasses matter, transcendence becomes sainthood.
Survival of the fittest, genes reign supreme.
I am the calamity, I am the end.
Nuclear war erupts across the globe, and nuclear wastewater pollutes the Earth. Humanity's home is no longer fit for us to live in. Mutated monsters, mechanically enhanced humans, unknown continents, and void-dwelling beasts: what sparks will fly when technology clashes with primitive cultivation? Will humanity ascend through technology, or choose to sanctify the flesh? How will we decide?
