When human beings cast their gaze on the sea of resplendent stars, the abyss also stared back.
Jiang Chen, an ordinary scrap recycler living in the interstellar edge era, woke up from an ancient ruins ship that was supposed to be empty after an unexpected jump accident. This is the grave of civilization, the end of the Trek, a starship older than any known imperial history - the "Lizhou".
He is not the only survivor.
A mysterious "whisper" began to echo in his mind. It claimed to be the remaining consciousness of the ship and promised to give Jiang Chen enough knowledge and power to subvert the order of the entire universe, but at the cost of helping it complete an unfinished "mission."
In this steel cage spanning tens of thousands of light years, Jiang Chen must walk on the tightrope of trust and suspicion. What he has to face is not only the unknown terror lurking in the ruined ship, but also the greedy forces from the outside world who also covet this god's creation.
In order to survive and return, he had no choice but to dance with the "devil" and become the deepest whisperer in the star sea.
