Imagine this: You wake up after death, your feet on burning coals, your flesh charred and regenerating. You scream, you wail, you beg for death but cannot. This is the cyber underworld. Professor Qi Yuan created it with a quantum computer, judging all sinners in the world. But right next to you, there is one person who doesn't cry out. She kneels on the coals, cups the face of a soul that has become a walking corpse, and kisses it. The soul calls out her name. With each kiss, she grows weaker. She is a prophet. This is the "Silent Stream." Pan Ye said: Once you enter the Silent Stream, everything from your life remains in the river of blood. But some refuse to forget, refuse to cry out, refuse to become beasts. They do the cleanest things in the dirtiest place in the underworld. And the one who created this underworld is now standing on the opposite bank of the river of blood, watching her kiss each one. He uses a quantum computer to judge all evil in the world—but he himself cannot even afford the price of a single kiss.

   2026, the AI apocalypse. The old human order crumbles under the impact of the technological singularity. When everyone possesses the power to destroy the world, when trust collapses, order crumbles, truth is annihilated, laws cease to exist, memories disappear, souls are reset, genes are edited, consciousness is replaced, faith is forgotten, obsessions are erased, creation occurs from the void, thoughts are generated, the world is reversed, civilization is tarnished, and the right to interpret history falls into the hands of each individual. Human civilization heads towards self-destruction in the dark forest competition between individuals. Computing power replaces gold as the hard currency, energy and models become the highest priority, and algorithms and weights are hard-coded in everyone's consciousness. This is a story pieced together by a person who has completely lost all memories in the AI apocalypse, amidst a sea of fragmented and confused memories. Past, present, future—who ultimately determines whose reality? Is the real world we live in truly the real world? Xu Shilian, a typical "three-waste youth"—no house, no car, no savings—finds a black brick in a garbage dump—it is the sealed "Ancestor of Wisdom," Bai Youzhen.

    With just a few lines of dialogue, the author manages to tear away the old man's thick, hypocritical facade—a testament to their remarkable writing skills! "Don't worry, no one but you and I know"—this seemingly comforting statement is actually a setup for locking the secret chamber and cutting off all outside help; "I'll never see you soar through the heavens again"—this seemingly regretful farewell to master and disciple is actually a prelude to using Jiang Mu to complete an experiment; "Let's see if your cultivation has reached the required standard"—this gentle statement hides a malicious intent to manipulate the poison by touching his wrist; "I want your life, you wouldn't be alive now"—this casual remark reveals that the old man doesn't care about Jiang Mu's life or death, he only needs him alive for experiments. Every gentle word conceals calculation, coupled with the old man's cold observation when Jiang Mu coughs up blood, completely shattering the facade of a benevolent elder. A few lines of dialogue puncture this hypocritical facade; the hidden conspiracy doesn't need to be explicitly stated, the reader can grasp it themselves—the writing's subtlety and nuances are superb!
