Echoes of the Divine Oracle

The story begins in the futuristic city of New Arcadia, where memories are quantified as “psyche” and can be bought and sold. Ling Yuan, a top memory adjuster, discovers that his own memories are continually disappearing. A failed mission pushes him to the brink. To protect himself, he is forced to team up with Fei, a legendary memory hacker from the black market. The two strike a deal and infiltrate Eternal Life Technologies, the corporation monopolizing psyche technology, to uncover the truth.

Their actions draw the attention of K, the mysterious leader of Eternal Life Technologies. They discover that Ling Yuan’s memory problems are closely tied to the “Oracle Project,” which K oversees. As their investigation deepens, they expose the project’s terrifying true purpose: K intends to create a collective consciousness that consumes individual will, bringing about his twisted vision of “human evolution.” The mysterious woman “Xi” in Ling Yuan’s fragmented memories turns out to be the project’s founder. To stop K, she broke her core code into fragments and hid them in young Ling Yuan’s mind.

To prevent the catastrophe, Ling Yuan must enter the core of Oracle as its “key” and destroy it from within. With Fei and the forces of the black market providing cover, Ling Yuan enters the data world and faces K in a final battle of minds. In the end, Ling Yuan lets go of his obsession with saving the illusion of his personal memories, fulfills Xi’s last wish, and destroys the Oracle System.

After the battle, New Arcadia descends into chaos but regains its freedom. Ling Yuan loses most of his memories, but begins a new life with the surviving Fei. However, a mysterious email from “Xi” and the awakening of K’s clone in a distant colony hint that an even greater crisis and a far vaster universe are yet to be revealed.
