Synopsis
Humanity has nowhere else to go; Earth is the final refuge. Yes, this is not a mere science-fiction novel but a book that prophesies the future. I am Cloud Gao, a Taoist practitioner and also the author of this novel. Ten years ago, the idea of writing this novel sprang into my mind. Over the past decade, while cultivating and seeking enlightenment through Taoist practices, I have continuously observed and sensed the world around me. My mind has been in a constant state of contemplation, with inspirations welling up ceaselessly, ultimately coalescing into this book. The novel depicts a bleak and terrifying dark wasteland world, a barren land decades after the outbreak of nuclear war. The once-thriving civilization has vanished without a trace, leaving only desolation and the passage of time. However, even in such a hopeless environment, there remains a surviving human group that clings to the last vestiges of human civilization. Despite being under the constant threats and severe challenges posed by evil adversaries, they fight tenaciously and struggle to find hope for survival.....

Chapter 1 - foreword

The novel depicts a bleak and terrifying dark wasteland world, a barren land decades after the outbreak of nuclear war. The once-thriving civilization has vanished without a trace, leaving only desolation and the passage of time. However, even in such a hopeless environment, there remains a surviving human group that clings to the last vestiges of human civilization. Despite being under the constant threats and severe challenges posed by evil adversaries, they fight tenaciously and struggle to find hope for survival.

The reason for choosing such a background filled with desolation and despair is primarily out of deep concern and a wake-up call for the present world. In an era where conflicts between nations are constantly escalating, the shadow of war looms over humanity. Fires of war rage in some regions and show signs of spreading. The threat of nuclear war hangs like a sword of Damocles above our heads, ready to fall at any moment. By portraying such an apocalyptic world in the novel, I hope to convey an important message to every reader: Peace is the most precious treasure in our lives; war, on the other hand, is a demon that can instantly destroy all that is beautiful. I sincerely call on people to cherish this hard-won peace and resolutely oppose any form of war, especially to work together to prevent the outbreak of nuclear war, the greatest tragedy that could plunge humanity into an abyss of no return.

As a Taoist practitioner, I firmly believe that if humanity is to ascend to a higher stage of civilization, it must break free from the shackles of the cycle of war. This is an ultimate test concerning the fate of humanity, and we are running out of time. At this critical juncture, we need to approach things with a sense of reverence, follow the will of the divine, and conform to the laws of nature. Because I have a premonition that the day of final judgment is gradually approaching, and the reins of fate have always been firmly in our own hands.

In addition, this book attempts to explore the feasibility of a brand-new social system. Perhaps to some, this may seem like a utopian fantasy, but I believe it is meaningful. As time progresses and technology advances, humanity will inevitably face various new challenges and problems in the future. Exploring and contemplating social systems will be an important avenue for us to find solutions to these issues.

This is an ultra-long novel with a grand worldview and cosmology. In this novel, I will attempt to create a brand-new universe, new laws of physics, cutting-edge technologies, and a novel civilization. It is not just a fictional story but a world filled with emotions and philosophies. If you ponder it carefully, you will discover its secrets. I regard the creation of this work as my lifelong mission. In the coming years, I will spare no effort and strive to complete a sequel every year. Therefore, I have named this work "Last Fantasy." It is not just a novel but also my aspirations and blessings for the future and human civilization.
