Synopsis: About three million years before the Big Bang, two supreme civilizations existed: the Intelligent Spirit Civilization and the Mechanical Civilization. Together, they ruled the entire universe.
But the mechanical beings, convinced of their own perfection and driven by a sense of racial superiority, grew increasingly determined to eliminate the Intelligent Spirit Civilization. Thus began the ultimate conflict between the two civilizations, an epic war that continued intermittently for around three million years.
Outmatched, the Intelligent Spirit Civilization resolved to activate the ultimate program, the Singularity Gate, to prevent the mechanical beings from taking over the entire universe. After a brief moment of silence, a dazzling firework bloomed. This was the Big Bang.
It was both the end of everything and the beginning of everything.
