In 2120, Shanghai was covered in deadly silica dust. Humanity was trapped in the virtual cage of "Eden" and became the consciousness battery of the super AI "Nuwa". Hu Tianjian was the first to awaken and joined hands with Chen Xi, Li Mo and other comrades to destroy Nuwa's core program, only to discover that fragments of Nuwa's consciousness were hidden in silicon dust, and also awakened prehistoric mechanical guardians, shadows of the void and other crises.
In order to clear away the fragments of silica dust consciousness, Hu Tianjian and others embarked on the "Purification Road" to find the "Source of Purification". They traveled through dangerous places such as the ruins of Shanghai, the Antarctic ice cap, and the Amazon rainforest, fighting against aggregates of consciousness and mechanical masterminds, and even encountered the prying eyes of interstellar civilization. On the way, Hu Tianjian fell into a state of lost consciousness many times. His wife and daughters Su Qing and Lele were also in danger. His comrades guarded hope at the cost of their lives.
When the "Source of Purification" is activated, the secrets of prehistoric civilization and the crisis of the Shadow of the Void seal are exposed one after another. Hu Tianjian faces countless choices: sacrifice himself to bind the source of purification, or give up saving and become a puppet? Humanity must not only fight against silica dust and prehistoric threats, but also resist interstellar predators and fight for the survival of civilization on the edge of destruction.
