When the first "abyss ripple" tore through the sky, humans thought it was just another interstellar storm.
Until alien beasts poured out of the cracks, the steel city turned into scorched earth, and the nine star-dome shelters became the last tombstone of civilization. A hundred years later, the survivors huddled in the energy shield, leaving the wasteland to monsters and ruins.
Lynch is an outcast.
Nineteen years ago, he was expelled from the city wall by the Seventh Sanctuary as the "Eye of Calamity", and lived in the wasteland with corpses and embers. No one thought that those cursed eyes could actually see through the flow of energy in the starry sky - that was the long-lost "starmark perception" and was the only key to becoming the legendary "Master of the Starry Sky".
He just wants to live. Scavenging, trading, and avoiding strange animals, the life is as rotten as rusty iron in the wasteland.
Until he picked up a broken star mark stone.
Until Su Li deciphered the encrypted signal of the deep space fleet.
Until he discovered that the so-called "Astrological Holy See" was taking the initiative to tear open the rift, and the "Deep Space Fleet" that fled to the Star Sea a hundred years ago was about to return - not to save, but to purify.
In the wasteland where alien beasts rage, he is the humblest scavenger.
When the king-level beasts crush the city wall and the fleet's light spear points to the earth, he must become the last refuge under the starry sky.
"They call me Disaster." Lin Qi held the Star Mark Stone tightly, and the soul in his palm was like a burning flame. "But this planet... It called me - 'Guardian'."
The stars are falling. And he is the last person standing between the planet and the abyss.
