In 2242, the solar system is targeted by an unknown alien civilization known as the Abyss.
They feed on the energy of stars. In just a few years, Mercury is melted down, Venus's atmosphere is stripped away, and Mars becomes a dead world. Human colonial fleets are driven back at every turn, while Earth is surrounded by a desperate gravitational blockade. Civilization teeters on the brink of extinction.
Li Fei was an ordinary maintenance worker at a resource station on the edge of the solar system. During a sudden Abyss attack, he accidentally activates the Star Core Interface, a relic of an ancient civilization. It is an ultimate technology that can directly control gravity, matter, and space, and the only force in the entire universe capable of opposing the Abyss.
Climbing out of the ruins of the station with the damaged Star Core data in hand, he crosses the shattered asteroid belt, gathers the remnants of the military, awakens dormant mecha, seizes alien warships, and cracks the codes of the Abyss's mother nest.
From an unknown nobody, he rises step by step to become humanity's last commander.
His mission is not merely to defend Earth.
He must use the Star Core to restart the gravitational rings of the entire solar system, drive the Abyss civilization out of the star system once and for all, and reclaim the stars that belong to humanity.
As the Abyss's main fleet bears down and the Sun is on the verge of being extinguished, Li Fei stands in Jupiter's orbit and, with himself as the core, ignites the solar system's final line of defense.
This battle will either restart civilization or doom everyone to die.
His choice will decide the future of tens of billions of humans and the fate of the entire solar system.
