Under the ruins of the rusty city where order had collapsed, Wu Di crawled out of the monotonous neural access cabin. He was not only burdened with trauma, but also a trick of fate - facing the threat of death, he had no choice. Su Qing left a faint trace of guardian light deep in the "anchor" of his soul; the guide "Gravekeeper" threw him into the flesh and blood corridor leading to the core of Alpha-7 at the cost of his broken body, turning himself into an ember before the spark. In Wu Di's hands, he held tightly the blood-stained tokens - the key chip sent by Lin Feng at the risk of his life, and the core fragment of the "Tree of Life" left behind in the Eden Era.
His escape path is the battlefield. The steel torrent of the Cleansing Department and the "Scavenger" killing machine weave a dragnet on the surface; the sniper scope of the "Gray Owl" flashes a deadly cold light in the shadow; the formatted will of the "Night Watch" is like a maggot in the tarsus, launching mental strangulation across the virtual and real barriers.
Carrying the three wills of the dead (Su Qing's protection, the tombkeeper's trust, and Evelin's lament), holding the twin fragments (the tree of life and the core of Evelin) and the painful imprint of the "World Tree", Wu Di is like a stubborn spark, piercing the deepest part of the cold cage.
