15 years ago, the quantum computer was invented.
12 years ago, the four permanent member states of the United International began worldwide strategic preparations to welcome the 'Spiritual Energy Revival', with the integration of modern and Spiritual Qi technologies being of paramount importance.
In Zhengguo's Central Electronic Engineering Laboratory, the 'Soul Digitization Experiment' and its derivative, the 'Electronic Netherworld Project', led by Chief Researcher Artifice Sage Wu Chongwen, were approved for funding and initiated.
9 years ago, Wu Chongwen successfully digitized his own Soul. However, in a subsequent experiment, all other personnel at the Zhengguo Central Electronic Engineering Laboratory perished in an accident. Their Soul activity was annihilated, leaving only their data stored in the 'Dao Yi Central Celestial Secret Calculation Hub'. They were declared legally dead.
The Soul Digitization Experiment was halted, and all related data was sealed.
