In 2088, the "Star Gate" suddenly appeared over the Pacific Ocean, and the advance troops of the alien civilization "Shadow Eaters" descended on the Earth along with the meteorite rain. Human civilization instantly fell into an existential crisis. Chen Xiao, an ordinary college student, accidentally fused the "star core" from a high-dimensional civilization during an exploration of a meteor crater, and awakened the "star core eye" that can analyze the energy of all things.
From hunting mutant beasts to obtain energy fragments to joining the global joint defense organization "Watchmen", Chen Xiao grew up rapidly in blood and fire. Not only does he have to deal with the increasingly fierce attacks of the Shadow Eaters and decipher the technological codes of alien civilizations, he also has to face the struggle for power and conflicts of ideas within mankind. As the power of the star core is gradually unlocked, Chen Xiao discovers that the invasion of the Shadow Eaters is just the tip of the iceberg in the dark forest of the universe, and the star core in his hand is the only key for human civilization to break its destiny and enter the interstellar era.
