Fully Realistic Simulation

Glaciers are melting, permafrost is out of control, and old civilizations are collapsing in climate catastrophes. In order to continue the fire, humans escaped underground and built huge underground cities relying on controllable nuclear fusion. As virtual reality technology reaches its extreme, the digital universe called "Spiritual Realm" has become the main habitat of human consciousness. Based on the simulation verification of the data universe, technological leaps, and in-depth development of the soul, three paths to ascension have evolved beyond physical limitations: mechanical ascension to seek immortality through the digitization of consciousness, magic and arcana to crack the rules of controlling the source code of the universe, and cultivation and refining to temper the soul to achieve the unity of heaven and man. Under the virtual prosperity, real world resources are exhausted and classes are solidified. The Dyson Sphere plan to maintain the existence of the "spiritual realm" has entered a critical stage, and the competition for energy is becoming increasingly fierce. The "Return to Ruins" protocol hidden deep in the system is like a hanging sword, and the legendary "information creature" that can swallow the rules is also quietly awakening in the depths of the mirror universe. Six partners who have formed a deep friendship in the "spiritual realm" since childhood went their separate ways after the fate-determining "orbiting ceremony." They are drawn into the vortex of civilization's survival. In the huge conflicts between trust and betrayal, ideals and reality, individuals and collectives, they must uncover the ultimate truth behind the system and find the only hope for the continuation of civilization on three completely different paths of transcendence. This is mankind's last cry for survival and future between the self-created heaven and the physical laws of reality.
