Your body is a prison. Every organ is an imprisoned civilization.
Hu Hai is an ordinary delivery boy with a beloved wife and a pair of children. He lives on daily necessities. That was until the car accident that shattered his world—literally.
In the coma, his consciousness was broken into millions of pieces: his heart became the central divine court, his lungs were the Qingqi Dao system, his stomach and intestines became the netherworld, the bones supported Mount Buzhou, the blood flowed like the Milky Way, and the nerves woven into the prototype of the way of heaven. His body became a miniature prehistoric world, with every organ competing for the right to survive, and every tissue interpreting the history of its rise and fall.
When Hu Hai woke up, he found that he could look inside this "physical wilderness". But the truth was even more suffocating: he saw a similar world inside everyone, saw the transparent barriers at the edge of the solar system, and saw the pulse sleeping deep in the earth—the earth itself was actually an organ of a larger existence.
Human civilization is nothing more than microorganisms parasitic on this "organ cell".
The solar system is a carefully designed cage.
Carbon-based life is imprisoned here only because the universe has judged us to have "original sin": our evolution will inevitably lead to plunder and destruction.
From a delivery boy to a prisoner, from a patient to a cosmic doctor, Hu Hai embarked on a journey that subverted cognition. The war in the prehistoric world in his body reflects the fate of human civilization; his game with the organ world previews the confrontation between civilization and the Creator.
When you know that you are a bacteria in a cell, will you accept captivity or tear apart the cage?
