The Universe, Living Beings

Every living being is itself a universe, with cells as galaxies. Life and the cosmos mirror one another, nested layer upon layer to form an endless cosmic network. The "Silence Protocol" between civilizations conceals a profound law of survival: the intentions of one civilization can never be fully understood by another. Trust is scarce, and the slightest exposure can trigger a devastating attack.

"Cosmic Lifeforms" is a hard science fiction epic about the survival challenges and shocks to understanding that humanity faces when it first encounters the Dawn Civilization from nested universes. The story begins when Earth captures a mysterious cosmic signal. The protagonist, Lu Ji, and scientists around the world work together to decipher the multidimensional recursive code hidden within it, revealing a universe far more complex and frigid than humanity imagined. Volume One, "Gazing into the Abyss", lays out humanity's conflict with an external civilization and its defeat. Volume Two, "The Principle of Layer Origins", gradually reveals the laws governing nested universes and the inevitability of fate. Volume Three, "The Rebirth of All Things", depicts the ultimate sacrifice and rebirth that a civilization embraces in order to survive. Spanning vast scales of time and space, the novel weaves cold rationality together with the majesty of the cosmos, portraying an ultimate civilizational adventure concerning the essence of life, information, and existence.
