Preface
The world is dying one after another, and Lu Que is struggling to survive in one doomsday after another.
Zombies, ancient gods, fallen immortals and Buddhas, out-of-control AI... These are not nightmares, but his "examination room". A supreme being named "Box" is using the ruins of countless worlds to conduct a ruthless screening of civilization.
Lu Que, a former special tactics consultant, and his team - soldiers with persistent beliefs, scholars who know the occult, ghosts wandering in data, and scientists who have insight into the essence of life - are the "fire" that refuses to be extinguished in this selection.
But they are not the only ones involved. The "entropy hunters" headed by Lu Que's former teammate Zhao Qian are traveling through various worlds. Instead of saving, they only accelerate destruction, believing that only complete emptiness is worthy of new life.
As a result, the road to survival has become a battleground for beliefs. In the tide of zombies in the scarlet city, in the whispers of Cthulhu, and under the ruins of the collapse of mythology, the Luque team not only has to fight against the doomsday itself, but also against their former comrades and against a cold idea that tries to erase all traces of civilization.
Their fight is no longer just to survive.
It is to prove that before the end of entropy increases, some civilizations are worthy of suffering, struggling, and incomparably glorious... Burning to the end.
This is a trial of survival across the multiverse, and it is also a civilized elegy and war hymn dedicated to all those who are unyielding.
