The Family’s Taichu Cauldron

The Universe of Mortal Hearts transcends the traditional sci-fi framework of "civilizational conflict." Through imagery such as "spirit plants and machines dancing together" and "faith and technology resonating," it conveys the idea that "coexistence is not compromise, but the creation of new possibilities." As a line repeated throughout the story puts it: "Mortal hearts are not the end. When you learn to dance with difference, you suddenly realize you have been in eternity all along."

From spirit-plant code in Earth's prehistoric ruins, to symbiotic experimental fields in higher-dimensional dark zones, to breaking the deadlock of order in parallel universes, every step taken by the Mortal Hearts civilization proves that true strength means letting the light of different civilizations illuminate one another, not allowing one light to devour the universe.
