In 2145 AD, civilization struggled between neon lights and ancient temples.
In the cyberpunk oriental city "Chang'an Jiuzongque", brain-computer interface repairman Chu Zhao took on a desperate business to save his seriously ill sister - repairing the first-generation mecha "Qingluan" abandoned by the military. The moment she pierced the data cable into the spine of the mecha, the rusted steel behemoth suddenly came to life. The green flames gushed out on the ruins and burned out the "Lanting Preface" written thousands of years ago. Memory fragments flooded into her mind: the frozen embryo cabin of the Mars colony, the quantum pagoda engraved with the Cicada clan's cipher text, and the doomsday afterimage of herself driving the mecha covered in blood.
A data rainstorm revealed the hypocrisy of Cyber Changan. The AI controlled by the five major families is encroaching on Tang Feng's monuments, turning the brain-computer interface into a shackles to control people's hearts; the "star track key" circulated on the black market points to the selection trap of higher civilization, and Chu Zhao's embryo number "X-07" is actually the certificate of the spark of civilization across the stars.
When the mecha "Qing Luan" transformed into a lady from the Tang Dynasty who was reborn with fire, and when the glazed chilong of the Quantum Pagoda mutated into cicada wing patterns, Chu Zhao was forced to embark on a journey that tears apart time and space: confronting him head-on at the gene farm of Mars Utopia The tragic tragedy of human photosynthesis, the confrontation with the dead mother resurrected by AI in the digital underworld, and finally, under the gunfire of the star orbit fleet, the decision should be made whether humans should survive with flesh and blood, or turn into astral bodies and leap into the abyss of the universe.
This is an interstellar escape encoded in "Xuanji Tu", and it is a battle for the survival of civilization that uses the firewall of Tang poetry to fight against the tyranny of AI. When the neon lights of Cyber Changan are submerged in the torrent of star trails, the only thing that can pierce the darkness is the uncompromising light of humanity in the remaining chapters.
