Wang Xiaoguang, a teacher from Huaguo, unexpectedly receives a distress signal from his student, Lin Xiaoyu, and leads a team in developing a quantum transmission system. This alarms the Lord of Crystals: humanity's return would cause the virtual world to collapse. Amid misunderstandings and obstruction, Wang Xiaoguang wins support with the facts. In the end, he breaks through the technological blockade and leads tens of millions of consciousnesses back to an Earth whose ecosystem has recovered.
