In the pasture of the vast sea of stars, who is the lamb and who holds the butcher's knife?
Ling Xiao, the most elite starship captain in the Dragon Kingdom, whose pupils are branded with genetically enhanced nebula blue spots, is responsible for the mission of letting the five-star red flag fly in farther territories. He passed the final assessment of the "Dream Chase Project", drove the "Xuanlong", which symbolizes the barrier of civilization, and embarked on a magnificent journey to explore deep space.
However, traveling through a violent wormhole, encountering deadly "light waves" that erode the minds of comrades, and witnessing Pao Ze's tragic sacrifice in the flames of a dying star... The scars and sacrifices along the way ultimately point to a cosmic truth that subverts cognition: the earth and even the entire galaxy are just "ecological pastures" carefully set up by advanced civilizations, and humans are just experimental subjects who are observed, guided, and even "harvested" on a regular basis. The technological explosion in the rise of the Dragon Kingdom originated from the reverse engineering of the forbidden relic "Qiming Monument", and Ling Xiao is the contemporary "key holder" tasked with finding the legendary "Road of the Sages" and fighting for a glimmer of life for civilization.
When the Purifying Hammer - the enforcer of the Ranch Law - arrived and wiped out Beichen Port with its absolute power, Ling Xiao was on the verge of death and saved three wanderers among the stars who were burdened with the fire of civilization and blood feud: Adran, the pathfinder of technological civilization, Kaiduo, the star-breaker of the wild planet, and Seran, the singer of the dimensional remnant. He scattered the key fragments about the truth about the ranch and the road to freedom into their civilizational heritage, and lit the last spark beacon.
Fleeing to the spiritual prison "Spiritual Root Realm", Ling Xiao's consciousness transformed into a "devouring abyss" due to devouring and backlash. He understood the essence of this tree-like planet as a pasture spiritual farm and dived deeply into its spiritual network.
