The Star Dome civilization has fallen. Higher-dimensional shadows tear through the sky screen, and a shadow catastrophe sweeps across the globe. The wreckage of starships becomes monster nests, human civilization teeters on the brink of extinction, and the rate of professional awakenings is less than one in a thousand.
Lin Che accidentally binds himself to the only Star Dome Architect terminal in the universe, becoming the prophesied inheritor of the rules. Architects analyze the laws of all things, while modifiers carry out rule alterations. With the two powers combined, he breaks free of the constraints of levels and becomes a one-of-a-kind master of the rules.
Ordinary professionals advance by following the rules, but he can create astral pattern rules and conjure energy from nothing. While others fight desperately for resources, he can alter a Boss's combat power with a thought and strip enemies of their core abilities. The stronger his enemies are, the faster his strength surges after he analyzes them. Crushing opponents across level gaps is as easy as breathing.
Using rules as his key, he unlocks professional awakenings for everyone, customizes exclusive professions, and builds a professional alliance, doubling the combat power of his elite team. Using astral pattern crystals as his guide, he monopolizes the Star Dome legacy and activates the ancient defense network. He ventures alone into shadow nests and starship cores, a one-man army who lets the alliance crush enemy forces without a single casualty.
The mad experimenter Otto advances step by step with his mechanically modified bodies, while higher-dimensional shadow envoys descend with spatial rules. Eight astral pattern crystals conceal the key to restarting civilization.
As Lin Che advances from Astral Pattern Architect all the way to Creation Architect, he will alter higher-dimensional rules, seal away shadow energy, and define Earth's new order. In this wandering era, he will become humanity's sole ruler.
