From the surge of thermal energy to the shuttle of electric current, from the repulsion of magnetic poles to the swirling wind, these energy forms are actually the incarnation of spiritual energy under the rules of time and space. When Pangu splits chaos, Taoism deduces Yin and Yang, or the universe explodes and expands from a singularity, all things are always evolving from nothingness to order. The distance of the stars and the expansion of space that we observe are a manifestation of the continuous fission of the origin and spiritual energy, like a never-ending engine pushing the universe to spread to the unknown boundary. Creatures cycle through life and death in this torrent: vegetation withers and feeds the earth, humans pass away and return to stardust, and energy continues to multiply in the cycle of birth and death, allowing the universe to maintain its expansion. However, there are always those who defy heaven and are unwilling to surrender to the way of heaven. They regard practice as the key to tampering with the rules. In the end, they control the spiritual energy to strip away the laws of the world and refine the origin of the universe into the fuel to break through dimensions, which is called "ascension". Each ascension is like a black hole devouring the universe and causing the decay of the universe. When there are as many predators as stars, it will eventually lead to the collapse of the entire system. In order to prevent the end of this world, Zhang Sanfeng, the last person to ascend, slays the devil with Jiazi - why does the devil need to slay Jiazi? In fact, it cleanses the world: killing the Golden Pill monks, burning high-level skills, and separating the spiritual energy from the origin of the world: those with spiritual roots are imprisoned in the "spiritual world" to accompany all spiritual energy, while mortals are exiled to the "present world" with the origin of the universe. Since then, the path to ascension has been cut off. The scientific laws you and I have seen are just forbidden afterimages, and the energy conversion in the roar of the subway and the photoelectric jump in the mobile phone screen are all the embers left behind by the past. When the quantum glow of the spiritual world seeps out from the cracks in the elevator door, Zhang Wuya becomes the only mortal who can see the truth - and every word in this book you read is the first crack in the restriction he has torn open.
