In 2300, vast quantities of a chemical element called "Gu" were exposed and reacted with oxygen, spreading across the globe. Earth turned green again. But humanity gradually discovered that it had lost the ability to reproduce, and its population began to plummet. In 2478, it became possible to digitize and store human consciousness, and the consciousnesses of 200 million people were gradually transferred into mechanical bodies. By 2532, humanity had completed its transition from biological to mechanical bodies and achieved immortality. Humans no longer fit in with Earth's environment, and many, tired of living forever, chose to have their data erased. Then, one day in 2912, a spaceship launched in 2283 as part of the Mars Terraforming Project returned. A young couple and a child emerged from the long-lost spacecraft, bringing news that Mars had been conquered by a true artificial intelligence, which would soon invade Earth. Humanity faced total catastrophe. This book is the first installment of the Green World Trilogy, Earth's Elegy.
