How many mysteries exist in our world?

The alleys that you can't get out of once you enter, the ghosts in white roaming abandoned buildings, the eerie footsteps in deserted schools in the middle of the night, the eerie glow of sewers — the holes that Indonesia can die in just passing by, the canyons of death in the Russian Far East, and all the other strange things that appear on the sea.

Whether it's a mysterious ghost ship, an underwater cavern leading to the unknown depths, or a windless zone in the ocean, all of these things cannot be explained by existing technology, as if they were hallucinations, but there are always people who are convinced that all of them actually exist.

Gods, immortals, magic, cultivation, souls, hell or heaven, the ancients described in detail all these things that we now think 'do not exist', the Book of Mountains and Seas records all kinds of strange beasts, not only the specific form, but even the effect of eating is extremely detailed, and the various secret methods recorded in the alchemy book are actually closely related to modern medicine, herbology and even material science.

And the near-simultaneous Great Flood and the myth of the creation of man by the gods in the major myths seem to vaguely confirm something, as if there really is some invisible vein that connects the world that we now think is irrelevant.

In this case, martial arts, magic, practice, alchemy...... Are these things all made up by the ancients? Are all the yearning and admiration for transcendental, immortal, and even enlightened and enlightened beings all lies?

If it is really a lie, why have these false things been passed down for thousands of years, and even today, many people, many people in high positions and even well-educated people believe that these are true?

So, these mysterious, strange things, maybe just a different name, a different image, just quietly lurking between you and me?

In today's society, science is a method and tool to explore the truth behind all things in the universe, and a bridge to the 'Tao' and 'truth'.

When scientific researchers throughout the ages perceived the laws of the way things work, when Newton discovered the interaction of forces, when Faraday discovered the connection between electricity and magnetism, when Benjamin Franklin brought down thunder – when these deeds have passed for thousands of years, have they not become modern myths and legends?

And science, perhaps, represents the name of truth and Tao, enlightenment and God.

Whether it is magic or Taoism, it is necessary to prepare materials, recite mantras, meditate on gods or runes, and perform rituals carefully. Chemistry experiments also require preparing materials, remembering the protocols, recalling the protocols, and then starting the experiment.

Humans imagined that magic could create carriages and flying carpets that could move on their own without the need for horses, and humans were now able to create cars and airplanes...... What is it? This is a miracle of science, and this miracle does not require luck or mercy, it only needs to learn knowledge, and then join the giant machine called human civilization, and it can be born from the hands of you and me...... Isn't this magic, not Taoism, not alchemy?

To be honest, there are too many of these examples, such as the Stone of the Sage, the Immortal Yang God, the Immortal Body, the Heavenly Realm of Eternal Happiness, and the Ascension of Cultivating Immortals...... These ancient concepts do exist today.

It's just that they have changed their names and changed their forms in a new environment: for example, cyber mechanical bodies that can carry human will, 'servers' that upload consciousness souls, immortal bodies obtained through genetic research, electronic worlds that are similar to the Matrix but extremely happy, and superhuman bodies that can freely enter and exit the 'green underworld' and the 'universe' through various means of transformation and training.

These ancient things have existed in the past, still exist, were hard to find, and are still hard to find, but no one can deny these possibilities, no one can deny their existence. ’

It's always been here, right next to us, quietly watching, accompanying us. It's just that humans are no longer the same humans they were, and magic is no longer the magic it used to be, so they are hidden, sleeping, and no longer appearing.

Until one day, those who have passed away, those who have fallen silent, those who have been far away, are once again close to our world.

Su Day, a seventeen-year-old sophomore in high school, an 'ordinary' person who loves strange things and strange stories, is holding his mobile phone at this time, and in the July holiday sunshine, he is intently replying to messages sent by friends on the forum.

The tour bus passes through the forest road, the vibrant green scenery of the jungles of Southeast Asia does not attract his attention, he never cares about these 'ordinary' things, in the tour guide's rather pompous introduction, in the front seat of the uncle's rather loud snoring, he clicked the 'send button', and then let out a long breath, put the phone on his lap.

[Is there really a supernatural event in this world?] Magic or immortal cultivation, do they really exist? 】

Seriously replying to this post, he would never have imagined that what he said would become a prophecy, and what would happen next would tear apart all peaceful realities and gentle illusions.

All the ordinary, the boring but warm daily life, all the things he is accustomed to will leave him decisively, never to return.

On the lap, on the phone that has not turned off the screen, there is still a small beginning of a reply.

[Of course.] 】

[They definitely exist. 】
