This was an era where everyone could experience various worlds through simulations.
When everyone reached 16 years old, they would receive a Life Lantern, which would grant them two free simulations.
During the free simulations, they had to break through the limits of humans in order to attain a bright future in reality. 
Otherwise, they would lose their Life Lanterns and they would slowly be corrupted by a black fog until they eventually died at a young age. 
Lin Qiye, who transmigrated to this era, failed his first simulation.
During his second simulation, by chance, he acquired a permanent SSS-rank talent - the Deduction of Genesis.
