Wang Miao delves deeper into the Frontiers of Science, seeking understanding of their goals and the nature of the mysterious countdown flashing before his eyes. But he receives nothing but a cryptic command—“Stop your nanomaterial research.” Uncertain whether to trust Shen Yufei’s words, Wang Miao decides to test out the virtual reality game she’s been playing, and in it, he discovers tales of a strange, alien civilization…
“The entire universe will flicker for you.” This grand promise—or perhaps threat—leads Wang Miao to his next destination: an observation center where he can tune in to the cosmic microwave background. Along the way, he meets Ye Wenjie, Yang Dong’s mother and a former physicist with a storied past. Is she merely a kind elderly woman who’s gone through tough times, or are there secrets she’s kept hidden away…?

Who is this “Lord” they speak of? And what divine powers do they hold…?
This world has three suns—the shocking truth that Wang Miao uncovers about the world in Three Body leads him to the game’s second level.
