What would happen if all the mountains, plateaus, and hills on the earth's surface were raised 20 times higher?
At the pinnacle of human cognition, we used mathematical elegance to describe our homeland: the undulations of the Earth's surface, smoother than an Olympic-sized table tennis ball.
This was once our belief in the order of the universe.
But we were wrong.
Smoothness is nothing but a temporary illusion of gravity. When the earth decided to show its true skeleton, human civilization was as thin as a cicada in front of its turn.
A "super phase transition" deep in the mantle is triggered, and the planet uses its own energy to forge a new skeleton. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau turned into a "world wall" tens of thousands of meters high in a few days, and all geographical concepts were completely reorganized.
The world is ruthlessly divided by this natural chasm.
At the foot of the wall, the "abandoned people" degenerated into tribes in the drastic changes in the environment, and the fire of civilization swayed in the snowstorm.
At the top of the wall, the "Ascendant" relied on the Tongtian Mountain, turning despair into a bet for the Xinghai Ark, and coldly abandoned his homeland.
And in the abandoned ruins, new wisdom is sprouting. Crows fiddle with metal fragments, octopuses decipher the codes of sunken ships - they wait for their moment to take the stage.
This chasm split not only the continent, but also the fate of a species.
When the exiles in the Star Sea, the degraded tribal remnants and the rising new wisdom meet again——
Who is the real owner of this planet?
The story begins on that sunny afternoon, when Levi, a geography student, heard the truth about the "smooth earth" in class.
