In 2147, Earth became a radioactive wasteland.
Lu Jin, a scavenger, was fighting over a metal fragment engraved with mysterious patterns when his blood activated a gene chain dormant for ten thousand years. It was the seed of evolution left behind by humanity’s ancestors, the Source Energy Civilization. Devouring stars, analyzing dark matter, crossing wormholes with his bare body… Every breakthrough tore at the shackles of the universe’s laws.
When the star-destroying warship of the alien observers, the Xingxuan, appeared in orbit above Earth, Luo Xi, a half-alien scientist, found him with a forbidden truth that could rewrite the order of the galaxy. “Your gene chain isn’t a gift. It’s a timer used by a higher civilization to screen for ‘acceptable species.’”
From underground cities to the Centaurus black hole, from genetic laboratories to battles across dimensions, the two embarked on a gamble with civilization’s survival counting down:
Was evolutionary consumption the key to humanity breaking free of the universe’s cage,
or the final command for a higher civilization to restart its purge program?
