Shen Ming, a player carrying the secret of transmigrating by spending his own lifespan, falls into the ancient civilization's burial ground known as the Cradle. Here, order has collapsed and chaos is spreading. The "Devourers" and "Rust" are the epitaphs of civilization. Alongside survivors like Tianshu, Yanyang, and Yue Wuhen, he forms a team and struggles to survive in the perilous underground ruins.
They encounter a twisted ecosystem and the deranged mechanical guardians known as "Devourers," and discover that the ultimate defense system, the "Webweaver," has mutated and run out of control. But the greatest secret and danger come from Shen Ming himself: within him, the chaotic origin, powerful enough to erode the world, mysteriously coexists with a faint, fragile glimmer of alien order. Is he a remnant of the Cradle's deranged experiments, or the "Seed of Entropy Reversal" foretold in a prophecy of civilization's self-preservation?
To survive and uncover the truth behind the Cradle's destruction and his own existence, Shen Ming and his companions must venture deep into the darkest ruins. Caught between order and chaos, they must fight the mutated Webweaver, the deranged experimental site known as the Stasis Garden, and terrifying beings from the ancient past. This is a journey of survival, humanity, betrayal, and redemption. As the embers of civilization are about to go out, will they sink into the ruins, or become the fuel that kindles a faint light leading to an unknown future?
Knocking down life in exchange for cultivation, the theme construction is very interesting.
