The Earth at the edge of the Milky Way is a "relict pearl" that has never been seen by all races in the universe. When the afterimages of mysterious creatures and strange meteorites on the back of the moon were discovered, humans used their energy to create the VR world "Star Field" - one day in reality and five years in virtuality, where the power of mechas and elements are rapidly iterated, just to resist possible dangers in the future.
But the accelerated development of "Star Territory" has become a gentle prison. The passion, bond and sense of accomplishment of the virtual five years have made countless people addicted to it and unwilling to wake up; the wishers, time ability users and illusion ability users who support this illusion have become extremely weak due to energy overdraft, and even sacrificed one after another. When the foundation of the illusion is crumbling, the top human beings have to plan a "rescue" - releasing "starry sky monsters" into the virtual world, allowing those addicted to experience the extreme pain of the death of relatives and friends, in order to split the illusion and forcibly awaken the sinking consciousness.
Li Xiuheng is the most contradictory existence in this illusion. He controls the mecha across the virtual battlefield, and the "system" in his head accurately guides him. There are people around him who he wants to protect, but he sinks soberly into the "reality" day after day. It wasn't until the monster trampled his virtual home and the pain of his relatives and friends lying in a pool of blood penetrated his nerves that he awakened from the collapse: the so-called "system" was his split rational personality, and the five years of virtual warmth were nothing but fragile bubbles woven by humans for survival.
When the illusion dissipates, the starry sky in reality remains silent, but the threats in the universe are never far away. Li Xiuheng, the former mecha genius, has become a lost seeker... Will he still stand up when danger comes?
