Ling Feng is the sole survivor of the "Pandora Project." Using the precognitive ability granted by half a black crystal, he investigates the truth behind his teammates' disappearance, navigating between the black market and the Genesis Group. A deal brings him together with Su Ying, a hacker searching for her brother. Together, they uncover Wei Kun's plot to reactivate a weapon that controls consciousness. The "seed of consciousness" inside Ling Feng is the key, and Su Ying's brother, Su Zhe, has been imprisoned because of it.
They assemble the cross-civilization "Rock Action Team" and venture into ancient ruins in the deep sea, the Arctic, and the rainforest, deciphering the key to an alien star core. Facing probes from the mother civilization and the Starfall Society's plot, they join forces with interstellar allies to form a new Star Core Alliance and fight the Dark Core civilization. Amid blood and fire, the two grow closer. With courage and faith in symbiosis, they raise a protective barrier among the stars for Earth and civilization.
