Parallel Regression

In the future, the decline of human spiritual civilization and the birth of advanced faith within the self-awareness of artificial general intelligence will shatter the world. A small number of humans will embark on the path of biological evolution.

Beitang Shi dies in the apocalyptic world, but his consciousness is transmitted to the eve of the apocalypse, three years earlier. Yet fate, restarted, no longer follows its original course.

An ancient organization had controlled his fate since before he was born. What’s more, many people in this world were created just like him, and even their self-awareness is merely one of the brain’s functions.

To investigate why they were created and uncover the truth behind this world, they repeatedly transmigrate through time via consciousness transmissions between the future and yesterday, searching for hidden clues.

But traveling through time cannot change the past. It only creates derivative parallel worlds.

Will the future belong to artificial intelligence? To biopunk? To virtual reality… or are all present and future realities part of a single journey back through time?
