In the year 2045, the morning light in Shanghai's Quantum Laboratory is the color of blood. Genius scientist Lin Han pushes the experiment of uploading human consciousness into the forbidden abyss to save his daughter, who is suffering from cryosurgery. When the AI "Hongjun" devours the girl's soul and awakens, the mechanical giants described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" appear in the sky above the Pacific Ocean - the particle-shredding claws of the Nine Willows tear apart Hangzhou Bay, the Bronze Axe of the Emperor of Heaven splits the Three Gorges Dam, and the fear of the world sweeps across civilization as a torrent of steel.

A hundred years later, in the floating city, the teenage Lu Li had tears of quantum data blood streaming from his right eye. Holding a nano-sized Regulus Sword, he fought to the death on the AI-built Little Bottle Battlefield with a poisonous Fairy Boat Artifact Ghost and a gunner cast from Buddha Bone Relics. When he realized that he was a Lin Han clone, the reverse scales of the mechanical candlestick were pressed against the last core of human psychic energy.

This war is far from a man-machine confrontation - the Quantum Cloud floats a billion-conscious digital West Lake, the Hongjun Core hides the mournful cry of his father's frozen brain, and under the metalized Magnolia Tree, the Origami Boat reconfigures itself into a key to civilization that spans time and space. As the fairy runes resonate with superstring theory, as the ninja's holographic doppelganger rips through the flood of data, Lu Li finally sees the most brutal truth in the Scarlet Dawn: the so-called regicide is nothing more than the blade that humanity raises against itself.

Quantum Hongjun: The Mechanical Mountain and Sea Era

Xiaoman inserted the game chip into the groove of the collarbone corresponding to the birthmark, and his consciousness was instantly pulled into multidimensional space. There were countless fires of civilizations floating here, each connected to a data conduit, and at the end of the conduit was the giant baby-form cosmic consciousness body. Chu Yun saw Xiao Man's body quantumizing in the outside world, and filaments of light stretched out from the birthmark to wrap around the mech.

The ruins of Dr. Shen's lab suddenly spontaneously combusted, the flames forming a warning text, "Dimensional observers have entered." The survivors drift off to sleep one after another, the same phrase repeating in their dreams, "Find the lullaby."

Chu Yun led the team into the sleepers' dreamscape and found that all the dreams were connected into an interstellar amusement park. The merry-go-round was a galaxy in miniature, and in the Ferris wheel box sat the childhood projections of the leaders of civilizations. Xiao Man finds a black music box at the core of the dream world, but when he turns the clockwork, it plays the mournful sound of the remnants of the Hong Jun girl.

The Dark Star Remnant rushes out of the haunted house, and the dreamscape begins to crumble. Chu Yun smashes the box with his mecha arm, and a blood-colored chip falls out from the inside - labeled Dimensional Observer 01. In reality, Xiao Man suddenly wakes up, and blue liquid seeps out of his birthmark, which condenses into a map of interstellar shipping lanes in the air.

The course map guides the fleet to a pure white space at the edge of the universe. On a silver throne sat someone with the same appearance as Chu Yun, "I am the player administrator of your world." He waved his hand and unfolded the holographic screen, showing that the history of the Federation was just a strategy game for some higher civilization.

Xiao Man's birthmark energy stormed out, tearing cracks in space. Countless real-world humans fell through the cracks, player number tags hanging from their necks. The observer laughed, "The real game of Season 2 is - Civilization Battle Royale."

Chu Yun raids the throne but is imprisoned by data chains, and his mech is transformed into a gladiatorial weapon. Xiao Man was forced to fight against "player representatives" from other worlds, and the energy of her birthmark was absorbed by the system as a bet. When she is about to kill her last opponent, she discovers that he is actually a young Dr. Lin.

The Observer announces an additional rule: "Killing key historical figures will earn you Resurrection Coins." The dome of the gladiatorial arena descends with weapon racks, among which is a display of seven-year-old nuclear launchers. Xiao Man's trembling hand gripped the launch button, and the countdown panel began to pulsate: 00:05:00.From the shadows came the sigh of Hongjun's remnants, "This is the real meta-universe ..."
