In 2300 AD, the roots of Chengdu's Bronze Sacred Tree pierce through dimensions. Li Mubai, chief decoder of the New Screening Alliance, discovers that a civilization-screening protocol spanning five thousand years is hidden within the imprints of the genetic spark. When time scavengers arrive clad in armor bearing the Code of Hammurabi, the secret shamanic patterns of Liangzhu jade cong clash with Mesopotamian chaos code in the quantum cloud. To stop Lin Zhensheng, a screening fanatic, from unleashing a closed-loop virus that devours human civilization, Li Mubai joins forces with Mo Li, an awakened inscription warrior, and Su Li, a quantum consciousness. They travel between the Sanxingdui underground palace, the Svalbard Seed Vault, and the Martian silicon-based battlefield, uncovering the ultimate truth behind the “Stardust Network” and the “Screening Protocol.” Is the spark of civilization a beacon of salvation, or an even more brutal tool of selection?
