   Reader note

   This is the best post-apocalyptic war novel I've ever read. The protagonist rebuilds civilization, reshapes the rules, is invincible, has no system, features female characters, and has many personalities. The protagonist is both intelligent and brave. The first ten chapters are a bit slow-paced, but with patience, the quality improves significantly from the second and third volumes onwards. There are no weak war gods or mindless villains.

    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. Her left eye was as cold as an abyss, her right eye burning with a morbid crimson. She saw all living beings as worthless weeds, yet regarded Xu Shilian as her only god. "Your Majesty, poverty is a desecration of your divinity." "Since they won't give, then we'll rob them." "The law is a fig leaf for the weak, but you are the only rule." [Yandere Warning] Bai Youzhen: "Anyone who dares to look at Your Majesty will have their eyes gouged out; anyone who dares to disrespect Your Majesty will have their existence erased." Xu Shilian: "... Stop fooling around, let's make money first."
