The black realm dissipates, and humans are exposed to the cruel universe. No shelter, no mercy, only survival.
Xiang Wentian, a deep space monitoring technician, smelled a storm in the last tranquility of the Black Domain era. When the world fell into chaos, he ran away alone with the only key data - not to save mankind, but to make mankind qualified to save itself.
Underground in Qinghai, in a closed fortress, the three parties confront each other. The military, the exiles, the mysterious legacy, everyone is counting, every bullet has a price. And four point two light years away, the real hunter has opened his eyes.
This is not a story about heroes. It's about arithmetic - population, resources, time windows, and the blood tax that must be paid to survive a cosmic war. Xiang Wentian doesn't understand sacrifice, he understands optimal solutions. But can he keep calculating when the optimal solution means pulling the trigger?
The universe never answers prayer, only power. There is only one way out for human beings: become strong enough to make your enemies fear and respect you, and be strong enough that you can finally say no.
Strengthen yourself or perish.
