A Cultivator Who Uses Science and Magic

The story is set in a parallel modern world called the 'Psychic Era'. The time background roughly corresponds to the mid-21st century. After human society experienced a global psychic tidal phenomenon known as the "Great Awakening", the original technological civilization and a supernatural force called "psionic" had a profound integration and collision. This era is not the ancient times of traditional immortality novels, nor is it a pure science fiction future, but a strange stage in which technology trees and psychic trees develop in parallel and are entangled with each other. Secular society still maintains a similar contemporary social structure and technological level, and the Internet, modern transportation, and globalized economic systems are still operating. However, 'spiritual energy' as an observable, measurable, and programmable 'fifth fundamental force' has been incorporated into the scientific framework. The core contradiction lies in the fierce conflict between old and new ideas: the ancient sect of cultivating immortality that adheres to the traditional line of 'metaphysics' and the emerging academic school of 'scientific cultivating of immortality' have launched a comprehensive competition in terms of orthodoxy, resources, talent training, and the right to explain the nature of the world. Society is generally anxious about an individual's position in the wave of "spiritualization." Whether to choose to follow the ancient method of empiricism or embrace a new cultivation system based on mathematical modeling and experimental verification has become a choice that everyone must face. The spirit of the times is 'liberation and reconstruction', which is not only the liberation of individual ideological potential, but also the reconstruction of the rules of the world.
