In 2096, a "stardust rain" suddenly fell on Earth, awakening an alien key that had lain dormant in human DNA for billions of years. Observer Jiang Jibai became one of the first people to awaken with control over his powers. Astonishingly, something within him resonated with the inscription of "Deer Crying" from the Classic of Poetry, discovered in the deep sea. Meanwhile, the mad scientist Li Yangling fused alien genes in an attempt to resurrect his dead daughter, transforming into the "Son of the New God" and unleashing a wave of global mutation. With the help of geneticists Yun Zhenzhen and Huo Xuanjia, Jiang Jibai formed the "Deer Crying Squad." Using the Classic of Poetry as incantations and the Songs of Chu as their guide, they embarked on an awakening journey from the glaciers of Kunlun to the Kuiper Belt, and ultimately across the galaxy. They discovered that humanity was actually an experimental civilization sown by the "Gardener Race," and that "Deer Crying" was in fact a universe-scale selection protocol. Facing the harvesting of civilizations, the collapse of humanity, and the temptation of divinity, Jiang Jibai used [The Deer Cry Softly] to awaken the power of empathy and prove, in the trials of the starry sea, that true evolution is not about transcending humanity, but protecting it. As a new stardust rain drifted toward another blue planet, he softly recited an ancient poem and became a "Star Emissary of Humanity," traversing the galaxy.
