A dazzling rain of crystalline dust seals the world in eternal silence. Cities turn into crystal forests, and humanity “ascends” in the light, becoming mindless crystal husks. This is not destruction, but a merciless reshaping of the world. Lin Mo, a doctoral ecologist, and Zhao Guosheng, a demolition expert, face the new world together: one uses knowledge to decipher its laws, the other uses force to carve out a chance to survive. As the entire planet “ascends,” should they fight back with all their strength, or learn to coexist with a beautiful, deadly new god? Survival in the apocalypse is also a choice about the fate of civilization.
