The universe is dead, only dust remains.
A disaster known as the "Great Annihilation" tore the prosperous civilized universe into countless "world fragments" floating in the sea of nothingness. The remaining creatures huddle in a giant city called "The Ark" and survive by absorbing the energy from the "stardust" of the debris in the universe.
Ye Ling is the most famous "scavenger" outside of Ark. He shuttles through the bizarre and dangerous fragments of the world, not for wealth or power, but to find rare "relics" that can extend his daughter's life.
His daughter Xing Mian, a girl as pure as the stars, fell into a deep sleep the day she was born, and her soul seemed to be imprisoned by invisible shackles. Only strange objects from the old universe can barely keep her fire of life alive.
During an ordinary scavenging mission, Ye Ling accidentally obtained a mysterious black cube. It did not come from any known civilization. It was engraved with incomprehensible runes inside. Under Ye Ling's touch, it turned into a system called [All Things Beacon], which was imprinted deep in his soul.
This "system" cannot provide the power to destroy the world, nor can it heal his daughter instantly. Its only function is "analysis" and "navigation" - to analyze the essence of all things and navigate to the unknown reality.
With the help of the [Vientiane Beacon], Ye Ling discovered that the so-called "Great Nirvana" was not a natural disaster, but a carefully planned "murder". The ruins known as "World Fragments" are actually prisons where old gods and ancient beings are imprisoned. And the soul of his sleeping daughter is inextricably linked to the source of this cosmic disaster.
