Nineteen-year-old scavenger Cheng Feng struggles with filth and radiation every day, living like an ant. Until he touched the taboo that he shouldn't touch with his blood-stained hands at the bottom of the well in the iron skeleton ruins.
That's not a blessing, it's a curse.
He became "Abnormal Body Zero", a walking source of pollution, sleeping in his body is the power of "The Devouring of All Things" that can devour the genes of all things, plunder characteristics, and even vague concepts. The price is never-ending hunger, whispers of destruction in your ears, and a body that may mutate into a monster at any time.
The Ark Empire regarded him as the living key to breaking through the genetic lock, and sent out the most ruthless "Recycling Section" hunter. The Pure Sky Alliance has determined that he is a mobile natural disaster that must be purified, and the fanatical "purifiers" have held up the flames. Behind everything, high-dimensional beings who call themselves "observers" are indifferently examining this experiment that they have directed for hundreds of years - using humans as dishes to cultivate containers to welcome the periodic arrival of "Star Eaters".
Chengfeng was involved in danger at every step during the pursuit and hunting. Every time it is devoured, it dances on the edge of the taboo between the two camps; every time it grows, it brings the terror in the seal one step closer. He is a defective product of the old era's experiments and the only variable in the new era.
This is an epic about devouring and creating, ascension and purity, manipulation and freedom. When the dark gold lines in the young man's palm spread to his heart, he had to make a choice: to become the designed vessel, or to tear apart this carefully woven dark sky and swallow a new way of life for human civilization.
