While other survivors scour the wasteland for canned food and ammunition, Su Jue listens to whispers. His warehouse contains no food, only an “Abyssal Altar,” stacked from discarded parts and murmuring the truths of the universe. He can trade with the lingering wills of annihilated civilizations, using “understanding” and “humanity” as currency to obtain forbidden technology powerful enough to reshape reality. He is the Abyss’s sole messenger in the mortal world, an agent of the Abyss who embodies both its blessings and its destruction.
