Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

This country is pursuing a silicon-based immortality path, aiming for human mechanical ascension to interstellar travel and the establishment of a military empire that colonizes the universe. To this end, it has developed the strong artificial intelligence SITA.

Their main goal is to become digital life.

"Once the mechanical ascension and consciousness uploading are fully realized, a small carrier can enable the migration of the human race!"

…………

Cyberpunk world.

V was curled up on the sofa in his shabby apartment, clutching a second-hand mantis knife he had just bought from the prosthetic doctor.

Hearing the words on the sky, she chuckled and turned to look at the ghost of the rock youth that only she could see.

"Damn it, what the hell are you doing? I didn't do it willingly."

Johnny Silverhand sat on the table with his legs crossed, smoking an e-cigarette.

"I wasn't talking about you. But listen to this, doesn't it sound familiar?"

"I know, you mean Lai Xuan's father, isn't that what he wanted to do? Put people into chips, put them into shrines, and turn them into digital puppets. He calls it 'the protection of eternal life,' but it's really just a giant coffin."

"Immortality? Is it really immortality? Do you believe it?"

V disassembled the mantis knife and began cleaning the bloodstains from the joints.

"I don't believe it anyway."

Johnny's voice drifted over softly.

"You'd better not be interested in mechanical ascension. I don't want to wake up one day and find myself living inside a graphics card."

They haven't found a solution yet; they can only share the same fate, whether it's prosperity or ruin.

V didn't even look up: "Don't worry, even if I die, I'll die in the stinking ditch of Night City, and die like a real person."

"That would be best."

Chapter 105 The Farmer and the Snake, Lü Dongbin and the Dog, Hao Jian and the Old Lady...

Secondly, the Heluo Kingdom emphasizes ancient traditional medicine, possesses the technology to utilize natural forces, and has unique research on the source of life. It is the only country in the alliance that has inherited ancient civilization.

Thirdly, the Kingdom of Zeon.

This is an island federation composed of numerous small islands, possessing cutting-edge medical and genetic engineering technologies.

This country champions the concept of human immortality and is committed to improving the natural environment through genetic modification technology in order to achieve long-term development.

To put it simply, they are pursuing a carbon-based path to human immortality.

Fourthly, Jelera.

Of the four factions, this country has the harshest surface environment, plagued by sandstorms, but it is rich in mineral resources.

Deep underground, within the mineral layer, lies a mysterious ancient power, which the people call a miracle.

Under these conditions, the country excels at harnessing the power of religious faith; its system is a theocracy.

They created an extremely luxurious underground kingdom.

Four seemingly powerful human nations, the images flashing across the sky showcasing their strength and the happiness of the people living within them.

The dust-dwellers of the Lighthouse huddled in a cold corner, watching the scenes unfold: the people of the River Kingdom lived peacefully by relying on the power of nature, the citizens of the Gene Kingdom enjoyed top-notch medical care and a carefree life, and the inhabitants of the Yelela Lands lived in a luxurious underground kingdom...

Everyone is well-fed and lives in peace and contentment.

But what about their lives now?

Hierarchical oppression, lack of food, scarcity of resources, and constant threat of life and death...

Envy, jealousy, and hatred—these words best encapsulate their feelings at this moment.

Someone was gripping the hem of their clothes tightly, their knuckles turning white.

Envy welled up in their eyes, while many others wore contorted expressions of resentment, their hatred almost overflowing.

The common people are destined to struggle in the end times, eating unpalatable food, enduring the beatings and scoldings of the superiors, and living a precarious existence.

We are all human beings, yet people in the old era were able to live in paradise!

This injustice intensified their despair and resentment.

Faced with the lives of people in the old era, not only the common people but also the upper class remained silent.

They usually look down on ordinary people and are arrogant.

But be careful.

They are just ordinary people.

Faced with the sights of the old world in the sky, and compared to the people of that time, their sense of superiority vanished.

Does he consider himself superior to others?

In the old days, when humanity enjoyed peace and prosperity, their lives on the lighthouse were nothing more than a struggle for survival.

Even with some privileges, they could not escape the panic of the apocalypse.

Looking at the magnificent scene in the sky, I was filled with a complex mix of envy and melancholy.

Lord Morgan, his aged eyes filled with reminiscence and pain, stared intently at the sky.

He seemed to want to use those images to return to that golden age when there was no bloodshed, no mana ecosystem, and humanity ruled the world.

The celestial screen has played many of the world's golden ages.

Many of them were far beyond his comprehension.

But those things didn't make him feel at ease.

Only the gentleness and prosperity of that era, which he personally experienced, truly belonged to him.

He had witnessed the height of human civilization in his world, and it was precisely because of this that he understood the desolation of the current apocalypse even more.

If only we could go back to that time...

Bai Jingyu, Bai Yuekui's father, was born on January 11, 2001.

The Bai family possesses a fortune of 230 billion yuan, having made their fortune in the game development industry in the last century.

Between 202 and 2030, the story of this world officially begins with Bai Jingyu.

"dad……"

The familiar face appeared on the sky, and Bai Yuekui was momentarily lost in thought.

Inside the shielding tower, Bai Yuetian was not much different.

Although he has become a tiny robot, he still has a brain and retains the emotional modules of a human.

Although a significant incident occurred back then, so much time has passed...

Some things can be let go now.

In their youth, Bai Jingyu and his wife Teresa came to a place called Jiuchuan.

Back then, Jiuchuan was just a small fishing village, where Bai Jingyu settled down.

In 2021, 20-year-old Bai Jingyu married Teresa.

On June 23, 2024, Bai Yuetian, Bai Yuekui's older brother, was born.

Bai Yuekui was born on July 27, 2027.

At the age of four, Bai Yuekui began learning life sciences from his mother and had his first lab mouse.

For Bai Yuekui, school life and the things her peers liked held no interest for her. Compared to daily life, the world that her mother and Professor Horn showed her was much more novel and interesting.

Meanwhile, Bai Jingyu, through continuous efforts, invented the powerful artificial intelligence ASH.

【Advanced Species of Human】

[That is: humans, a higher species]

[With ASH's complex and stable computation model and powerful supercomputing capabilities, Bai Jingyu achieved a technological breakthrough in a short period of time, thus gaining him extraordinary influence.]

During this period, ASH's capabilities even surpassed those of SITA within the Hela Empire, attracting the latter's attention.

In 2036, Gray, the chief of the Hisakawa City Joint Police Department, arrested a woman named Sharon.

Three days later, Chief Grey was subjected to retaliation by Sharon's brother.

Sharon and her brother Sievert have a very close relationship.

[When he was a child, on a smuggling ship, Sidford killed someone to protect his sister.]

This time, after his sister was arrested, Severus kidnapped Gray's wife in broad daylight at the amusement park and even video-called Gray to livestream the shooting of Gray's wife.

[Then they pushed him off the roof; the method was extremely cruel!]

When Grey captured Severus, Severus blinded him in his left eye, and then he was severely injured by a bomb, requiring an artificial heart and lung. He needs an implanted prosthetic to survive.

Therefore, he is also known as "Iron Man".

Marvel World.

Tony, with his carefree attitude, looked at the sky with dissatisfaction.

"What the hell is Iron Man? Did he pay me royalties?"

His swearing earned him a barrage of eye-rolls from his companions.

Meanwhile, an unknown deliveryman glanced at the sky, smiled, and continued delivering packages.

From that moment on, Gray vowed to personally punish this ruthless killer.

During Gray's recovery, Bai Jingyu was internally selected by the Coastal Alliance to become the next mayor of Jiuchuan City.

[The original candidate for the next mayor was actually Gray.]

In fact, the Coastal Alliance is very interested in the ASH technology developed by Bai Jingyu.

They reached a deal with Bai Jingyu, sharing technology and resources while allowing Bai Jingyu to develop a smart city in Jiuchuan City, designating it as the ASH Internet of Everything Special Experimental Zone, allowing it to develop independently of the Coastal Alliance.

Subsequently, ASH was put in charge of Jiuchuan's urban operations, becoming the city's central brain.

As the city develops rapidly, ASH is also undergoing self-iteration and evolution.
