The Era of Afterimages

Quantum physicist Shen Zhao discovered that his father's "death" twenty years ago was an elaborate scam. In this world, immortal cultivators are not cultivating spiritual energy, but invoking system vulnerabilities on the human body's quantum computer - they are hackers, anti-virus programs, and viruses that want to destroy everything. Shen Zhao was implanted with an unknown "receiver" by his father, making him the key to the struggle between the three parties. The Department of Law and Order wants to seal him, the League of Antiquity wants to use him, and the Gui Ling Cult wants to destroy him. When Protocol No. 7 Is activated, the father's true identity is exposed - he has never died, but has become a "background process" of the system, controlling the entire chess game in the dark. Science and metaphysics collide, truth and lies intertwine. Shen Zhao must survive before learning the rules.
