Chen Mo's entry assessment ignites the fuse that could destroy the world! The "Mark of Entropy" buried deep within him awakens, turning him into the living key to opening the seven "Entropy Gates." His father Chen Yuanshan's last words are both a curse and a key: he personally made his son the switch that will end civilization!
Torn between inhuman agony and the invasion of whispers, Chen Mo is swept along by the Night Watch's surviving members, the "Ghosts," and crashes into a suffocating truth. The so-called "Gates" are living abysses born from humanity's collective fear. The so-called stabilizers that will "save the world" are cruel instruments that drain their users' lives. And his father's plan, reaching across time and space, was to use the flesh and blood of his own family to forge a despairing loop like an ouroboros! His mother's brain was turned into a lock, his kind-hearted comrades were encoded as weapons, and every sacrifice tightened the chain of destruction.
His body, split between old age and childhood, becomes a battlefield, as the core of the loop and the entropy-born calamity vie for control within him. With the Observer's authority looming high above in orbit and billions of lives reduced to droplets of fear nourishing the loop, Chen Mo grips the [Blood Crystal Stringblade], forged from his mother's chip, his comrades' will, and his own bones of entropy. Will he kill his father? Slay a god? Or burn away his own bloodline? He sets out on a path toward death: seizing the Observer's authority, tearing apart the loop matrix, and carving civilization's final epitaph into the flames that consume him. He is both civilization's gravestone and the last chisel to engrave it!
