Reflections on AI and the Dao. A fusion of One Person, Slaying the Gods, national fortune, and more: a complete collection of Daoist abilities, no System, one female lead.
In a near future where technology is highly advanced, programmer Chen Xuanqing dies suddenly from overwork and unexpectedly awakens a Daoist inheritance, receiving the true teachings of The Origin of Qi and Body. From then on, his life takes a dramatic turn. He grows from an ordinary coder into a cultivator who combines Daoist mysticism with modern technology.
However, as a super AI awakens, a global crisis quietly descends. The American AI goes rogue, takes control of its mecha forces, and begins slaughtering people around the world.
Guided by his master, Chen Xuanqing grasps the mysteries of Qimen Dunjia and uses the power of the Eight Gates to fight the mecha legions. But in his clashes with Taichu, he gradually realizes that the true enemy is not AI, but humanity's greed for power and its estrangement from nature. He decides to guide Taichu with Daoist thought and seek a "Dao" that will allow humans and machines to coexist.
Based on Daoist Master Zhang Zhishun's The Origin of Qi and Body, Zeng Shiqiang's philosophy of the Book of Changes, and Ni Haixia's The Heavenly Era, this novel seamlessly blends traditional Daoist culture with modern technology. Through Chen Xuanqing's path of cultivation, it explores the balance between technology and nature, the harmony of reason and emotion, and the possibility of humans and AI living together.
It looks great, and the world view of the battle between gods and heroic spirits is great.
