In 2147, interstellar archaeologist Lin Ye discovered a "Stardust chip" engraved with the symbols of an unknown civilization in the wreckage of the starship left by his parents. This was the key clue to the "accidental" death of his parents. In order to find out the truth, he stepped into the "abandoned star field" blocked by the alliance, but accidentally got involved in the three-party game between the Earth Federation, the interstellar pirate group and the mysterious "Keeper of Secrets" organization. Hidden in the chip are secrets that are enough to subvert the origin of human civilization. Every force wants to take it as their own. People around Lin Ye are either enemies or friends. Even Su Qing, his most trusted partner, seems to be hiding secrets. As he gradually uncovered the truth behind the "prehistoric interstellar immigrants" behind the chip, he discovered that his family had long been the most critical pawn in this civilizational chess game spanning thousands of years, and his choice would determine whether mankind would move towards interstellar fusion or completely fall into the abyss of self-destruction.
