Eternals

Humans had made groundbreaking progress in certain technologies before the Old World was destroyed.

Among these breakthroughs, the most outstanding and admirable one was consciousness uploads.

This technology could transmit a human’s consciousness to a specially designed robot bionic chip through special equipment. This allowed humans to escape the restrictions of their fragile bodies. They would no longer age, become unwell, or starve. They also no longer died from the passage of time. All they needed to do was carry out maintenance or switch carriers periodically to achieve consciousness-level immortality.

As time passed, the Eternals gradually revealed many problems. This wasn’t because they were malicious, but that the technology was far from mature. Among them, the most prominent problem was that a person lost various sensations after losing their physical body. This resulted in them losing the motivation that humans had in the struggle for survival.

Many Eternals began to find their lives boring and meaningless, resulting in very serious mental problems. Meanwhile, the Eternals that went crazy dealt another round of severe damage to the already fragile human race.

Although the remaining Eternals didn’t go crazy, they became lost. They began to seek comfort from the various religious remnants of the Old World.

Finally, they focused on a particular religion and absorbed the traits of other religions, creating a new religion that was self-consistent but extremely warped. It was a new religion that could help them resolve their psychological problems. They called themselves monks.

They called the hidden stronghold that hid the consciousness relay equipment the Glazed Pure Lands.

Most Eternals are part of the Monks Conclave.
