Looking up at the stars, human beings always think that they are alone.
Until one day, astrophysicist Lu Yin deciphered a series of "distress codes" from the edge of the universe in deep space detection signals. This code is not an invitation, but a cold "civilized screening notice".
It shows that the earth is just a "petri dish" blocked by advanced civilizations, and the so-called physical laws are just the bars of the cage. When the barrier is lifted, the laws are restored, myths are revived, and superpowers are awakened, the entire planet is forced to be involved in a cruel "civilization upgrade" competition.
Lu Yin, the "key" to uncovering the truth, turned from a rising academic star overnight to a "public enemy of mankind" being hunted around the world. He must find the "other shore" that belongs to mankind in this new era where order collapses and the jungle preys on the strong, in the cracks between science and myth, in the whirlpool of betrayal and alliance.
Should he become a vassal of higher civilization, or break free from the shackles and write his own deep space legend?
