In the year 31627 of the Interstellar Calendar, as technology advanced at breakneck speed, human activity severely damaged the environment. There was nowhere left in the universe suitable for habitation, and the world was on the brink of ending.
To prevent civilization from going extinct, the leaders decided to use a time machine to travel back to the pre-interstellar era and find a place where the entire Federation could settle.
After countless sacrifices and thousands of experiments and surveys, they finally found a suitable location: the ancient Tianqi Dynasty.

Afraid of alerting the locals, senior commander Luo Shichen led by example, infiltrating Tianqi in the guise of a Bodhisattva. Her plan was to start with religion and proceed slowly.
Before long, everyone in the dynasty had heard that a special Bodhisattva had come to Tianqi. She didn't accept incense or offerings, but preached about tapping an electronic fish, worshipping a mecha Bodhisattva, obtaining cyber sutras, and cultivating digital merit.
As the only living Bodhisattva in the world, Luan Zhi also heard about this fellow Bodhisattva. First, she helped the Tianqi emperor put down an internal rebellion, then offered advice to strengthen the nation. In a short time, she quickly won the people's hearts, and commoners competed to build her shrines.
The Cyber Bodhisattva's fame rose so quickly that she could rival Luan Zhi, the long-established living Bodhisattva.
Since the two women had completely different personalities and ways of handling things, turmoil soon followed. The once-united Tianqi Dynasty split into two factions.
One faction continued to worship Luan Zhi, the living Bodhisattva whose boundless compassion embraced all beings as one.
The other revered Luo Shichen, the Cyber Bodhisattva with the appearance of a sage and the heart of a Mandrava.
Just as Luo Shichen's followers believed the dynasty would flourish forever under the protection of the Cyber Bodhisattva, people from the future arrived with her, bringing terrifyingly powerful weapons of technology, including laser swords, aircraft, ion cannons, and combat mechs, and began slaughtering Tianqi...
