Online Games for Everyone: The Hongmeng Era

[No transmigration, no rebirth, no System] In 2036, AI had completely revolutionized every major industry worldwide.

After more than a decade of competition over AI computing power, several superpowers joined forces to establish the era-defying multinational corporation Hongmeng Technology, hoping to avert a global catastrophe. The company developed Pangu, the most powerful fully autonomous, self-evolving super AI in human history. It created a second world called Hongmeng Era and actively encouraged players around the globe to enter the game and seek their fortunes.

The super AI Pangu was granted unimaginable resources and permissions. It could access all gaming data online and was free from all human interference in its design. Top AI engineers helped build only the game's most basic framework, after which Pangu developed the game world on its own.

Under Pangu's complete control, Hongmeng Era, humanity's second world, truly had no preset storyline, main quests, forced progression, or human interference. It was entirely open and free.

Soon after its launch, Hongmeng Era swept across the globe, and humanity officially entered the era of super-AI virtual reality.

The global catastrophe had been averted,

but a colossal crisis capable of overturning all human civilization was quietly brewing in an unseen corner of Hongmeng Era.
