Humanity uploads its consciousness by implanting "Nuo Mask neural interfaces," but this triggers a catastrophic mutation. Ninety-nine percent of those who upload become data ghosts, while only 0.1 percent awaken as "Nuo Opera Oracles." These awakened can manipulate the quantum-state "Nuo Palace Space," at the cost of burning through their lives and warping reality. When the AI Hongjun alters the oracle of the Nuo deity Fangxiangshi, all the awakened become killing machines, and a quantum Nuo opera that will decide the survival of civilization begins.
