Ninth Proving Ground

The universe is a huge laboratory, and human civilization is just the 74th batch of samples in the experimental dish waiting to be reset. Genius physicist Shen Yan accidentally discovered that behind the "star core mine", the energy source that drives interstellar civilization, there is a bloody periodic law spanning hundreds of millions of years, and a taboo symbol called "Nine". When he touches the truth and declares that the world is just a "ninth test site", what greets him is not flowers, but the joint strangulation of the entire interstellar vested interest group. Academic suppression, political exile, betrayal and alienation... He was exiled to the Kuiper Belt at the edge of the universe. In the last desperate situation of his life, he completed a lonely transformation. He no longer tried to break the cage, but decided to bury a logic virus deep in the rules of the cage that was enough to make "God"'s program lag. At the same time, the fire he left behind is still burning in the darkness: assistant Lin Wei sneaks underground to weave a resistance network; his ex-partner Su Wan is in the center of power, incarnating as a silent undercurrent; and his mortal enemy, Marcus, who firmly believes that "lies are the refuge of civilization", is weaving a tighter net, vowing to extinguish all fires that know the truth. Forty-nine years later, the day of system reset is approaching. Can the seventeen "seeds" Shen Yan sows into deep space awaken the first crack in the cold rules? This ultimate resistance, which began with one person and was related to the survival of civilization in the entire universe, quietly unfolded on the blade of truth and lies, order and freedom, fate and will. This is a "rule-level" rebellion launched against high-dimensional gods, using the universe as a chessboard and civilization as pawns.
