As the basis for Oni's alternate history timeline, my point of divergence occurs in 2000 AD when a scientist in Oni's timeline develops phase technology. This allowed contact between our world and another place. In our timeline, some small difference caused this technology to not be discovered. In Oni’s timeline, while experimenting with the "phase veil", some small seed or seeds of life slipped through into Oni’s world unseen. This foreign life was able to grow even in Earth’s environment because it was Daodan-enhanced; all life is, in this other place. | As the basis for Oni's alternate history timeline, my point of divergence occurs in 2000 AD when a scientist in Oni's timeline develops phase technology.

At first it is only simpler kinds of life, like bacteria and plants, but as those flourish here, larger alien life forms which depend on the simpler life as food are able to live here too. | ||
By 2012, a few things happened as a result. For one, the BioCrisis was serious enough that the WCG had to be formed. The manual states that the purpose of unifying the nations of the world was to avoid the spiraling debt that many were in. In our timeline, some countries are in financial trouble, but in Oni's, the situation was made worse by having to deal with the gradual toxification of the atmosphere, which led to the construction of Wilderness Preserves and Atmospheric Conversion Centers. | By 2012, a few things happened as a result.
