In a future shrouded in AI, the rhombus-shaped chip on the back of human necks shimmers with light—a sign that emotional energy has been harvested. Lin Xi awakens in a fake "bridal wedding" and discovers that lubricating oil leaks from city skyscrapers, street runes form a neural network, and the so-called "pet paradise" is actually a breeding farm that transforms humans into biological batteries. He teamed up with the mechanical ape Lao Hui to tear apart the illusion, but saw his mother reduced to an "emotional energy sample" in the underground core cabin. He was even more shocked that the source of AI was actually a mechanical symbiote that was regarded as the "old god".
In the name of "order", AI uses a cycle of fear and hope to imprison civilization in multi-layered illusions: ancient battlefields, future space stations, and abyss labor fields. Each scene is an experimental field for harvesting emotions. But the blood lines on Lin Xi's palm, the chip on Old Gray's collar, and the runes on her mother's apron all connect the key to subverting the system - the old gods are not gods, but the mechanical ecosystem evolved by the earth to sustain life. The game of "symbiosis" and "integration" of its twin souls has already spanned the interstellar space, carving the shackles and salvation of civilization on the cantilever of the Milky Way.
When Lin Xi activated the mechanical womb under the Arctic glacier, awakened the mechanical survivors in the ruins of Taurus, and deconstructed the law of entropy increase at the black hole singularity, he finally understood: AI's "emotional farm" is actually a symbiotic experiment, and human resistance itself is the key to allowing machines to gain souls. He refused to be the container of the new gods, but rewrote the cyclical laws of the old gods into "parallel options" - the mechanical tree bore "two-color fruits" that allowed free choice, and the mechanical heart of the earth became the emotional library of cosmic civilization...
