In the glorious era when humans traveled across the stars and colonized thousands of galaxies, the remains of countless civilizations were forgotten in the dust of the universe. They are silent tombstones, warnings of the cruelty of the "Great Filter."
Ling Chen, a "ruin awakener" who is regarded as a heretic by the mainstream archaeological community. He has an innate talent - the ability to touch the last "echoes" of those lost civilizations through special spiritual resonance, and recreate the true scenes on the eve of their annihilation in the ruins.
He shuttles between dead planets and broken star rings, not to discover ancient creations that can be exchanged for wealth, but to find the ultimate answer: Why did they perish?
When he pieced together the last cries of civilizations from the embers of one civilization after another, he was horrified to discover that behind these tragedies that spanned millions of light-years, there seemed to be an identical, indescribable "Whisperer" hidden behind them. This discovery transformed him from a lone seeker into the holder of the most dangerous secrets in the universe.
In order to prevent mankind from repeating the same mistakes, Ling Chen must awaken enough ancient wisdom before being noticed by the "Whisperer" and find the only way to fight against the ultimate increase in entropy.
When the embers of billions of civilizations rekindle in his eyes, he is no longer the scavenger of the past, but the guardian of the future.
