Historical what-if + mystery-solving + Chinese-style fantasy apocalypse + major civilization-fragment dungeons + ensemble cast, with every character highly intelligent and nobody acting stupid + civilization reboot + Chinese-style cosmic horror + a light golden finger, no System.
The Everlasting Night Mirage Sea descends, and fragments of global civilization mutate into ghost realms that devour reality. The Thousand-Machine Seal on archaeologist Su Xingli's shoulder blade burns hot. Alongside retired special forces soldier Chen Xuhui and the Glazed Palace Lantern Beast, she forms a formidable trio. Armed with the jade bamboo slips of the Thousand-Machine Secret Scroll and using battle statues as shields, they purify historical ghost realms, resolve millennium-old obsessions, cleanse the Mirage Sea's corruption, and gather civilization fragments to fight back against the Mirage Sea. They recruit the heroic spirits of historical figures such as Qin Shi Huang, Huo Qubing, and Zhuge Liang. Amid terror and tenderness, they unravel the mystery of civilization's rising entropy and restart humanity's future.
