When destructive civilization spreads across the star sea, Lin Cheng and his "Latent Shadow" are the last remaining firepower struggling to survive. A guided desperate voyage led them into the forgotten ark "Eden" and into a deeper trap - they became the "key" for ancient pollutants to invade a pure place.
In a fierce battle of consciousness, Lin Cheng used himself as a blade to cut off pollution, but he also coexisted with a dangerous "echo" fragment. When he woke up from the coma, his consciousness had completed a quenching transformation, he had gained the strange ability to understand the nature of threats, and he had also been burdened with a heavier fate.
However, the darkness of the universe goes far beyond that. The mysterious ship's dying warning reveals a more ruthless threat - the "Collector" and the "Archer" behind it. They are like invisible gardeners, sifting through star-sea civilizations based on unknown standards and ruthlessly "archiving" and "cleaning" them. The tragedy of the Haskar Eldar is just a node in this huge network.
Should we continue to struggle to survive in the net, or should we actively rush towards the net and tear open the darkness?
