Summary
In this ancient, but futuristic world, anyone’s life can change the universe. What if we don’t believe this life is real, what can we learn from it?
What if there a physical afterlife and it has its own ecosystem? What form would immortal life take? The Prophet of Corruption tells the story of the prophet who created the universe, and his disciples, who continually study the universe by crossing the boundaries between this life and the next. However, an epidemic of “depravity” spreads among those who have fallen too deep into the virtual reality of the afterlife. How will the prophet and his disciples protect this life and the afterlife from “the fallen” and protect humanity, who are connected as a whole?
In the beginning, Isata, one of several prophets who ruled the world of the dead, divided himself into two beings - Aman and Navan – whom he sent to the Universe, which he had created. Real life is the life that exists in the world of the dead; the Universe, including Earth is merely a virtual reality designed for eternal learning. However, Aman became deeply attached to life on Earth, instead of engaging in the eternal process of death and rebirth, learning.
From the world of the dead, Navan is sent to reunite with Aman, to coalesce into one being again and cleanse itself. Navan must persuade Aman to continue their eternal life together, but he is rather touched by the thought of mortality. One life, one love, only one chance to live and suffer. For all of these things, Navan rejects becoming one with Aman, and instead comes down to Earth to meet Aman.
If the film Prometheus reveals to you a dark world that utterly despises the human race, The Prophet of Corruption will show you a quite opposite world which embraces what we were created with and what we have with this life and this planet, which is exactly the world view we need at this dismal time.
