If history is a carefully written code, if the mythical beast in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is just an out-of-control biological quantum computer, if your life has already been calculated by the algorithm in the "cloud" - do you dare to go against the will of heaven and change your destiny?
The story begins in a bizarre folded time and space: a warlock wearing a long gown walks under the neon lights, and ancient beasts swim in the sea of data. The protagonist Chen Qi, as the "Observer of the Line of Cause and Effect" in the 38th reincarnation, holds a silver bracelet that can peek into the past and future. He originally wanted to watch the world with a cold eye. However, when the mysterious organization "Star Gazing Club" attempts to use the "Ark of Ignorance" to upload all human consciousness to an eternal virtual cage, and when the memory of a loved one is used as fuel to ignite, Chen Qi is forced to be involved in a cause-and-effect catastrophe that spans three thousand years.
This is not only an adventure to save the world, but also an ultimate torture of human nature. From the bloody smoke of Nanjing City to the false bliss of the Yuan Universe, from the data wasteland of Kunlun Ruins to the countercurrent gravel of the Time Abyss. Chen Qi fights side by side with Lin Xue, a girl with the "Core of Taichu Love". They tear apart the "perfect order" woven by lies and find freedom in the "destiny" defined by the algorithm.
There is no black and white good and evil here, only obsessions distorted by desire; there is no omnipotent god here, only the inner lamp lit by mortals in desperate situations. What kind of human tragedy is hidden behind Shen Guanxing's crazy plan? Why can Grandma Wang's bowl of steaming wontons become the only antidote to the systemic virus?
Open "The Fire of Karma" to see how Chen Qi uses the fire of karma as a guide to burn away the fog of ignorance.
