When the third Reality Loosening Event tears through the world's facade, seven major factions square off against an imagined apocalyptic threat. No one knows the true mastermind behind this “catastrophe”: Su Yan, calmly brewing tea behind the scenes.
Lin Mo, a celebrity professor, thinks he's a rebel exposing false history, unaware that every challenge he makes supplies data for Su Yan's experiments. The CEO of Cognitive Filter conceals her movements by posing as a janitor; her talent for erasing memories was taught to her by Su Yan thirty years ago. Top-tier star Chu Ci manipulates public opinion with his perfect image, while the genetic code Su Yan designed for him conceals the password to his “vessel.”
This ensemble drama, dressed up as “civilization saving itself,” is actually an ascension experiment to select a “new humanity.” As streams of global anomaly data surge across the screens behind him, the mild-mannered figure holding a teacup quietly recalibrates the course of human civilization.
