I Am Out of Tune with the Times

In the "Sky Age" that jumped to the third level of civilization, humans used genes and machinery as ladders to build a new pyramid. At the top of the tower are the "descendants of gods" - immortal rulers whose genes have been perfected, flesh and blood are integrated with machinery, and their consciousness is directly connected to the universal network. They control the stars, formulate laws, and regard all living beings as codes. The body of the tower is "enlightened people" - their optimized genes carry their wisdom. They are the gears of social operation. From planetary engineers to corporate executives, they form the cornerstone of civilization and prosperity. They firmly believe in the motto "hard work can lead to the altar of gods". At the bottom of the tower are the "stubborn stones" washed away by the torrent of the times - the descendants of the "die-hards" who refuse to transform, abandoned genetically defective products, or orphans who fell in the whirlpool of fate. They struggled to survive in the resource-depleted environment of their home planet, and struggled to survive in the shadow of the steel ruins. The story begins with Li Youzhi, a young man in the "Forgotten Land". He grew like a weed, and his only legacy was a data chip left by his missing father. In an accident, the chip was activated, and what was released was not knowledge, but a top-notch artificial entity-"Star Weaver" that should only exist in the "Goddess" neural network. Its arrival is like a stone thrown into stagnant water, instantly disturbing the balance. A low-level boy who has never even seen a starship, he will face the absolute barriers constructed by genes and machinery to explore the truth behind his father's disappearance, the meaning of his own existence, and the final answer to "what is a human being?" In this era where fate is determined by steel and genes, an epic spanning the sea of ​​stars begins.
