In the wasteland of Kasai planet corroded by acid mist, 15-year-old garbage hunter Lin Xuan discovered the broken mecha "Pojun" in the collapsed quantum battery warehouse. The moment he was pierced by a nerve cord into his spine, his amber right eye saw the terrifying truth - this colonial planet had long been reduced to a testing ground for the "Matrix", every acid rain was a genetic cleansing, and every survivor was a captive observation sample.
The 300-year-old ghost pilot in the cockpit, the anti-matter reactor on the back of the resistance female mechanic Su Na, the cloned face under the mask of federal commander Lu Tianheng... All clues point to the erased "Ark Project". When Lin Xuan awakened from the quantum core, he discovered that what was flowing in his blood was not human genes at all, but space-time particles that could control time and space.
When the mecha tore apart the first fungus beast, Lin Xuan's skin began to metalize. He foresees the future in his killing: becoming the ancestor of a new human race and conquering the sea of stars, or retaining his humanity and turning into cosmic dust. And the deepest nightmare comes from the metal womb under the Antarctic glacier - one hundred thousand clones with the same genes as himself, waiting to awaken in the cultivation chamber.
The memory steel blade of the Federation Army, the planet-level biological armor of the fungus master, the seven genetic keys pursued by the Quantum Order... All forces are tearing apart the last dawn of Kasai Planet. Lin Xuan glimpsed the nature of reincarnation in the turbulence of time and space: the so-called doomsday is just a program written by a higher civilization, and each "Lin Xuan" is a variable used to test the universe model.
The 117th time when he cut Suna's clone with his hands, the mecha's nerve cord suddenly backfired. Lin Xuan saw the training cabin supervisor at the last moment when the memory steel devoured consciousness.
