Synopsis

Primordial Genesis · Volume I : Odyssey of Mind blends hard science fiction with deep philosophical inquiry, exploring Mars colonization, ancient extraterrestrial memory, and the origins of consciousness.

As a reverse-time crisis threatens the universe, humanity flees to Mars. There, scientists Blackthorn and Colin uncover temporal anomalies that challenge physics and hint at a hidden intelligence shaping human destiny.

A parallel storyline reaches back 300,000 years, revealing early humans collaborating with an alien mind to build the foundations of civilization. Their forgotten legacy returns through Umata, a keeper of ancient memory.

These threads converge when the protagonist connects with OO, a higher-dimensional consciousness within the "Field of Knowing." Through the Mind-Engine and Mind-Voyage systems, he discovers a universe that may not be material at all-but a cognitive experiment still unfolding.

Inspired by the scientific scope of Liu Cixin and the philosophical depth of Ted Chiang, Creation I asks:

What is consciousness?

Are humans designed or accidental?

And what lies beyond the limits of time, matter, and self?

《造化 I · 神游记》是一部融合硬科幻与哲学思辨的长篇史诗,描绘人类迁徙火星、远古文明被遗忘的真相,以及意识科学的终极奥秘。

在"逆时间宇宙"危机席卷全人类之际,人类被迫迁徙火星寻求生机。在这颗陌生的红色星球上,科学家布莱克索恩与柯林意外发现时间异常--一种违背物理法则、暗示命运循环的高维干扰。随着调查深入,他们逐渐意识到,人类的历史或许从未真正属于自己。

三十万年前的另一条叙事线中,远古人类曾与外星智慧共同创建文明雏形。记忆守护者"乌玛塔"携带着那段被抹去的历史,与当下文明产生呼应,形成时间与意识的共振。

当过去与未来交汇,主角与高维意识"OO"建立对话,通过"识场""灵机模块""神游协议"等概念进入更深层的宇宙本质。他逐渐看到一个令人震颤的真相:宇宙可能不是物质构成的整体,而是一场意识主导的认知实验。

《造化》系列的第一部,将读者带入科学与形而上学交界的世界,在那里,宇宙的终极答案或许正等待意识的觉醒。
