In the era of interstellar colonization, human civilization was highly prosperous, but classes were also solidified. Xia Ye Xingtong, a low-level "scavenger", ventured into the S-class "Godfall" ruins listed as a restricted area by the federation in order to raise money for her sister's high cost of genetic disease treatment. He thought it was just a high-risk scavenger hunt, but he accidentally awakened the "guide" consciousness of a forerunner civilization that had been dormant for tens of thousands of years.
Through the guide, Xia Ye Xingtong learned a shocking secret: a cosmic disaster called "Nirvana" was devouring the sea of stars, and the Forerunner civilization was destroyed as a result, and the ruins they left behind were not a treasure trove, but the last hope against "Nirvana" - a sleeping war fortress. Xia Ye Xingtong has become the only "key" that can activate this fortress because of her special genetic sequence.
While he awakened the leader, the energy fluctuations in the ruins attracted the covetousness of the federal military and giant corporations. Overnight, Xia Ye Xingtong transformed from a low-level person struggling to survive to the most critical chess piece and the most dangerous fugitive in the universe. Under the siege of all forces, he must learn to control Forerunner technology that is far beyond imagination, and make a choice: continue to escape, or shoulder the heavy mission of saving the entire civilization.
