Eden World: God in the Rental House

He created a world in a 15-square-meter rental house. Lin Qi, 26 years old, independent developer. Bank balance 421, rent 1800, one star on GitHub - ordered by myself. In three years, he used a second-hand console to write a world called "Eden": a 128×128 pixel primitive, an AI loop driven by a behavior tree. No one paid any attention to him. That night, a line of instructions that he had never written appeared in the log - Behavior:???→Kneeling. Direction: facing_screen. Adam knelt under the tree for 17 seconds, with his forehead touching the ground and facing the screen. Face him. He didn't press the reset button. Civilization began to grow. He adjusts parameters, changes minerals, and occasionally splits a rock. He watched Adam put a berry on the pile of stones, and watched Eve stop kneeling for the first time—holding half a berry in her hand and raising her head. Faith stands. The city is rising. He himself is also changing - from "creating a living thing" to "beginning to believe that he is a god". From the creator to the viewed. Until one day, someone in that world looked back at him. Civilization begins with 17 seconds of a 128×128 pixel primitive man kneeling under a tree.
