Jiang Yan, a fifty-year-old ordinary construction engineer, has a wife and two sons and lives an ordinary middle-aged life.
An unexpected car accident gave him a glimpse of the cruel truth: the earth we live on is just a digital consciousness cultivation pool built by the original civilization. Mortal death is not the end, but the consciousness matures and is forcibly harvested and sent to an artificial planet outside the universe.
Billions of living beings undergo reincarnation and tempering just to produce consciousness samples that can be used by bionic bodies.
As a sleeping high-level module constructor, Jiang Yan holds the golden secret passage left over from ancient times. On one side is the life and death of the family, on the other side is the fate of billions of souls.
He wants to fight for the right to consciously choose independently among the defenders, radicals, and supervisors.
