As a live broadcast of the rare alignment of the nine stars is forcibly cut off by a blood-red beam tearing through the sky, spiritual qi revival begins across the globe. Humanity believes this is an opportunity to evolve, unaware that it is the signal that the universe's "Civilization Trial" has begun.
Lin Luo, an ordinary young man from the city, binds himself to the mysterious [Civilization Advancement System] at the very moment the apocalypse descends. The System's first "gift" is a cold and cruel death mission: kill an "invader sentry" within 24 hours.
But the threats he faces are not limited to the mutant monsters rampaging through the city and the alien creatures falling from the stars. He must also contend with the merciless gazes of the battlefield of myriad races. Human civilization is merely the youngest, and most fragile, prey in this endless war.
Rising from the ruins, he plots in the face of despair. With the weapons in his hands and the fire in his heart, Lin Luo will gather the survivors, uncover ancient inheritances, ignite the tree of technology, and lead humanity as it struggles to survive, carving a path through the hunt of the myriad races beneath the stars.
This is the darkest era, yet also the dawn of a time when heroes rise in droves. As the flames of war spread from Earth to the galaxy, he will wield a mortal body to do the work of gods and forge an immortal firmament for humanity.
