In the "Spiritual Network" world of the 22nd century, spiritual energy resources are encrypted by technology giants into paid programs, and the people at the bottom can only obtain incomplete skills through the black market. This setting redefines the "spiritual energy" of the traditional immortality system as a quantifiable data resource, while the "tribulation" evolves into an algorithmic screening mechanism when consciousness is uploaded. For example, the calamity that a cultivator needs to endure when breaking through the realm is actually the result of the spirit network master using an algorithm to detect the user's mental strength. If it exceeds the threshold, a clearing process is triggered. The principle is similar to the consciousness review of the cyborg in "Ghost in the Shell".
Lin Su's illegal brain-computer interface gives her the ability to perceive the flow of reality and spiritual network codes at the same time. This dual perception can be embodied as "code spiritual vision" - she can see the flow of data floating in the real world, as well as the spiritual energy veins in the virtual world of immortality.
