Deep in the shadows of the vast universe, there are ultimate predators called "world-eating beasts" lurking - they cannot be observed. Once they detect traces of civilization, they will start a cruel countdown to harvest. Humanity, a fragile civilization that has just set foot in the interstellar world, is proud of its "jump lighthouse" network, which is actually built on the giant remains left behind after the extinction of advanced civilizations - "star skeletons". These star skeletons are like living tombstones in the universe, periodically releasing deadly radiation "spiritual slough" that contains the memories and emotions of ancient civilizations, spawning strange parasitic ecological "eating insects", and making humans addicted to the inescapable "spiritual slough crystallization" drug.
In order to save his sister Xiaomi who was trapped in the whirlpool of crystal addiction, former security captain Lin Yi took a desperate risk and became a "Star Skeleton Hunter". He boarded the dilapidated "Night Owl" and traveled with a group of desperadoes who also bore a heavy price: Nova, a mechanical doctor who was rational but had memory impairment, Lake, a mercenary whose genes were on the verge of collapse, and Xiaomi, a "two-way resonance person" who could comfort the star skeleton but would lead to a directional pursuit by the world-devouring beast.
Their journey shuttles through the strange "star skeleton" units all over the universe: the maze-like "Wailing Corridor", the "Eternal Dusk Library" with suspended knowledge prisms, and the "Lullaby Garden" that voluntarily became the seedbed of world-devouring beasts... Each ruin is engraved with the rise and fall codes and fatal traps of previous civilizations. At the same time, the greedy conspiracies of corporate giants, fanatical sects eager to "purify" the universe, and the reverberations of ancient consciousness trying to control the world-devouring beasts are all pushing mankind into the abyss...
