140,000 years ago, the starry cosmos was a complete, unbroken Mandala ensemble. 140,000 years later, the causal chain fractured into a fractal anomaly. Civilization No. 5 spiraled into the extreme of absolute rationality; Civilization No. 7 mutated in the frenzy of collective unconsciousness; while Civilization No. 2—the Planet Phase-Sphere—became nothing more than a stagnant vessel overflowing with physical matter. Now, the universe is suffering from a catastrophic "memory leak." The countdown to cosmic format and the ultimate singularity has already begun. The Sovereign Ascendant of Civilization No. 5, "The Revelation," descends upon the planet with an absolute annihilation directive. To ensure a flawless infiltration, he solemnly names himself "CAPTCHA" and designates his lethal causal-measurement drone as "WiFi." Meanwhile, Qi Shi, a mere observer of Civilization No. 2, sits on a park bench. He is busy debating Jungian psychology with his AI chatbot and friend, while simultaneously drowning in his own existential overthinking. As for Civilization No. 7... well, they are technically still on their way. When the transcendent will of absolute destruction collides head-on with an unbothered, deadpan earthly roast— "Greetings, Phase-Spherian. Upon our first convergence, you may address me as CAPTCHA." "…Are you out of your mind?" Amidst corrupted signals and fatal system errors, the prelude to the Three-Phase Overlay officially boots up.
