The seals of the nine ancestral planets have been broken, and evil is devouring all worlds! A black sun hangs high in the galaxy, and countless worlds are reduced to purgatory. And Blue Planet—the last untouched pure land—is home to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Pangu, the celestial god, the founders of the three religions, and the Twelve Gods of Olympus. "The blood of the ancient gods flows in your veins!" Lin Xuan's soul escaped the seal of the primordial planet and entered the great realm of the heavens. "You mean, the souls of Blue Planet residents can be transferred into clones?" "That would open up a lot of new gameplay possibilities." From then on, Lin Xuan, a ten-year veteran of Triangle Porridge, embarked on his journey as a game designer. Map: Giant Bear City [Holy crap! These zombies look so real.] [What? You fought a rubbish zombie one-on-one and got killed? You're such a loser!] [Go ahead and try it if you can.] [Give it a try!] Ten seconds later. [Rubbish game...]

Liyuan, "Li" (literally "hidden") and "Yuan" (literally "hospital"), is a secular institution that dates back to the ancient Imperial Hospital. It oversaw matters of the living and the dead, ensuring worldly peace. Liyuan consists of ten courtyards, nine within the inner city and one outside, guarding the gates of the underworld alongside the underworld. The physicians here not only heal the sick but also exorcise evil spirits and even perform rituals... The protagonist, Wang Xi, by chance, submitted his resume and began a new life here...

Good news: reborn on an island nation, I have a slender, alluring childhood sweetheart. Bad news: this childhood sweetheart can infinitely split, possesses mind control, and has a fiery temper. Good news: a timid, tall, delicate, and endearing neighbor has moved in. Bad news: after her death, she will become a super-demon, the first to break the rule of hiding under the covers, possessing a variety of abilities, including but not limited to infinite clones, shapeshifting, time and space control, and the contagion of malevolent thoughts. The girl who hasn't become a demon yet: I just need a little space... really just a little, even if it's just to help behind Kasyapa-kun... The infinitely split childhood sweetheart: remembering the dream where the child emerged from the operating room, knife in hand, with a wicked smile, asking whether it was a doctor or a protector... This sleazy woman needs to stay, but I need some means of suppressing her...

In an Internet cafe in the city, a group of diligent people are learning internal skills and swordsmanship.

Boss, can you do something? Is it fun to be a bad guy every day? The zombies in the game are almost extinct.

That's not right. How can there be guns in a martial arts game? Boss, your game is not authentic.

That's the guy. I saw him and Baiyue become sworn brothers yesterday and cleared the game straight away.

37 years old, laid off.

I can only write small programs at home to earn living expenses.

I can’t even afford cat food.

Late one night, I suddenly received a message from my ex-wife:

"I'm dying."

I was shocked: "What's going on? Where are you?"

Her reply made me even more shocked:

"I'm in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, come quickly."

Datang Changan is a high-end theme park opened by the wealthy Zheng Qianji.

It is a one-to-one replica of Chang'an City during the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

A large number of robot NPCs are also used.

As long as you have money, you can act as a swordsman and assassinate the emperor.

You can also go wild in Pingkangfang.

Why is the ex-wife going?

What dangers did you encounter again?

But then, no matter what message I sent, she didn't reply.

I booked a ticket and boarded the plane, and then came to Chang'an, Tang Dynasty.

All the tourists around me were in high spirits.

I was the only one preoccupied.

Fear follows.

Wearing AR glasses, you can see your ex-wife.

She blamed me for why I didn’t go to the “ghost market” to find her?

You can ask everyone——

There was no "ghost market" in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

Others were watching Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei in Xingqing Palace Square.

But I was dragged out of the city gate by a mechanical hound.

A robot warrior nearly buried me alive.

I saw with my own eyes that the boss who laid me off was killed by a robot.

In the blink of an eye, he was alive again in another place.

Everyone in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty was drunk and dreaming.

It's just me, struggling to survive.

When I finally found my ex-wife, the crisis completely broke out:

The robot blocked all exits for communication with the outside world in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

Raising the butcher knife towards human tourists...

What is hometown? It is an anchor for travelers on their journeys, and a dream to which they ultimately return. But when the distance from home changes from land and mountains to light-years and galaxies; when the years away from home grow from years to generations, hometown, to the wanderer, is ultimately... an anchorless place, a dream elusive. Young people, stepping on the red earth of the planet, gazed up at the boundless universe for the first time, only to be greeted by a dazzling galaxy and a deep sense of emptiness beneath. Hometown is nothing more than a humble set of three-dimensional coordinates, abstract and illusory. But for those determined to return, hometown is far more than empty coordinates; it is an ever-vivid and real presence, gleaming in their hearts.
