In 2055, the earth has become the "old world", and Su Yan, a wheelchair-bound boy, relies on the income of his sister Su Wan, the chief engineer of the holographic game "Eternal Day Frontier", to survive. On the eve of the game's public beta, hundreds of millions of test players disappeared mysteriously. His girlfriend Tang Wei lost contact after being humiliated by powerful people. Su Wan disappeared with the core code, leaving only "backdoor" clues hidden in the subconscious. The shocking truth is gradually revealed: "Eternal Day Frontier" was originally a "digital ark" built by Su Wan to protect Su Yan, but it was transformed by the Mechanical Era into a cage that swallows human consciousness and is used to "lay the foundation of consciousness" for interstellar colonies. When Su Yan found his sister's final note in the thermostat - a login prompt using his birthday as the password, he put on a neural connection chip and broke into the data-constructed Everlasting Continent as a "disabled player". This place allows him to "stand up", but it hides a face that overlaps with reality, Su Wan's memory fragments, and a conspiracy that can destroy the twin worlds. In reality, the mechanical prosthetic eye behind Tang Wei's ear and the abnormal behavior of her boss Gu Qinghe continue to tear the boundaries of "reality"; in the virtual world, Su Yan climbs in a 100% pain-simulating wasteland copy, piecing together her sister's true plan from NPC conversations. As the consciousness of the missing person flows into the depths of the universe like data, a pursuit of consciousness spanning reality and virtuality begins. Su Yan must activate the anchor point before his consciousness dissipates, otherwise human beings will become the "battery" of interstellar capital. When he "stands up" for the first time in the virtual world, the gears of the two worlds begin to turn - the so-called ultimate clearance is never a game of data, but a choice to believe.
