A "grey fog disaster" reduced modern civilization to ruins, genetically mutated alien beasts took over the city, and the technology of the old era turned into dangerous relics. Former archaeologist Lin Ye took a bronze compass that could analyze fragments of civilization to search for his missing sister in the wasteland, but unexpectedly uncovered the secret of the reincarnation of human civilization - every destruction is a "screening" of a higher civilization. He must gather the twelve pieces of civilization core scattered in the wasteland amidst the siege by alien beasts, the strife of the survivor settlements, and the pursuit of the mysterious "Watcher" to break the cycle of reincarnation and truly "restart" human civilization.
