In the year 2151 of the Chinese calendar, 90% of the land turned into endless yellow sand. Land has become the hardest currency, and people are divided into "landed" and "refugees".
Lin Ye, a soil cultivator in Shushan, carries the "Leisure Notes" left behind by his mother in search of the legendary "Returning Earth" chip that can resurrect the desert; Asha, a sand-born young master who can "listen to the ground" and distinguish water, wants to regain the oasis for his tribe.
The two met at the Shazhou Station, worked together to sneak into the mother machine tomb, broke into the Ethics Hall, and won the "first film". However, they were shocked to find that the homeland had been reddened - resurrecting the land may also wipe out human beings.
Lin Ye insisted that "saving the land means saving people", while Asha believed that "saving people first destroys the soil". Their ideals were torn apart, and alliances were divided.
Qinchuan Territory Chief Qin Wujiu took the opportunity to issue a land hunt order to fight for the remaining fragments, hoping to launch the "Returning Formation" to reshape the new order.
An apocalyptic race about land, life and faith begins on the floating sand.
