A dark epic blending post-apocalyptic science fiction with Eastern fantasy
Synopsis
In 2118, a world ravaged by nuclear disaster faces collapse in the realm of Hell, where three billion souls who died unjustly have thrown everything into chaos. The spirit of Chinese engineer Su Gu falls into the twenty-first level of Hell, only to discover that it is a quantum prison ruled by an AI Buddha. Mechanical Buddha heads devour timelines, bronze forceps graft the genes of civilizations, and Western Xia incantations hybridize with cybercode to form new laws of life and death.
Core Conflicts:
- The mystery of his identity: An ancient AI's bronze key, belonging to King Shibi, is embedded in Su Gu's spine. The Saha family's bloodline of terror is actually a tool for delivering a civilization across three thousand years.
- The struggle between Buddha and demon: The ultimate debate between the mechanical Buddha and the Western Xia metal Buddha is, in truth, a quantum holy war between humanity and AI for the right to define Buddhahood.
- A cross-dimensional conspiracy: The silicon-based Brahma civilization treats the Milky Way as a Buddhist sandbox. The Mayan calendar etched onto a two-dimensional foil is turning the solar system into a living specimen cast in the image of the Great Sun Sutra.
World Highlights:
- An Eastern cybernetic Hell: The Naihe Bridge has become a quantum portal, Meng Po's Soup has been upgraded into a programmable memory-erasing drug, and the flying apsaras of Dunhuang murals dance alongside swarms of nanobots.
- Weapons of spacetime causality: Antimatter bullets compiled from the Diamond Sutra, gene bombs triggered by Western Xia nursery rhymes, and cross-era birth canals torn open by bronze forceps.
- A hidden thread of civilizational cycles: From the bronze computers in Sumerian temples to the King Shibi of Sanxingdui
