“Earth’s energy reserves are nearly depleted.”
Qi Yuan’s parents were among the first astronauts sent to explore the Eye of the Universe. They never came back.
Raised by his grandparents at the Aerospace Research Institute, he memorized star charts at three, studied flight paths at five, took apart a propulsion engine at seven, developed an artificial superintelligence at ten, and became the youngest-ever interstellar researcher at fourteen.
Qi Yuan has always believed humanity can survive this energy crisis, and that his parents must still be alive.
On the eve of the Seer’s launch, he received two mysterious regret pills in the mail, one red and one blue. After taking them, he saw two possible endings.
The red one showed the bloody apocalypse: the Eye of the Universe thrown wide open, with the cosmos swallowed by hell.
The blue one showed a human hell: Earth with nowhere left to turn, its people twisted by genetic fusion.
Qi Yuan thinks that if he can protect the first Infinite Energy source in Lei Yi’s possession and bring it back to Earth, none of this will happen.
But he doesn’t know that some things are quietly changing.
A broken robot, dying in a trash heap.
An elf, grievously wounded and clinging to life on the battlefield.
The believers beside the altar, willingly offering themselves as sacrifices.
Sai Xiaoxi considers him a brother.
Lei Yi sees him as hope.
Puni regards him as a kindred spirit.
But only Qi Yuan knows
The silver mechanical patterns on his back are a fragment of code etched there by a robot.
The golden slit pupils flickering in his eyes hold memories inscribed in his genes by an elf.
The pure, unchanged human heart inside him beats in time with three pulses that do not belong to humanity.
He is the starting point of the fusion of three races.
He thinks he is the savior of the universe.
But he has no idea that, after the apocalypse arrives, he will be the end of billions of living beings.
