(Volume 2: Ouroboros)
The downfall of the Special Bureau is just the beginning. Shen Qingqiu and Lin Wan found the black chip left by Lu Yuanshan in the ruins, uncovering the tip of the iceberg of a huge organization called "Ouroboros".
It turns out that the "first generation" created by Lu Yuanshan and Shen Qingqiu were only nourishment for the "embryos of gods". This embryo was not meant to resurrect a human being, but to create a new god beyond humanity. The new leader of "Ouroboros", "Yue", has already launched a backup plan, preparing to use the souls of Shen Qingqiu and Lin Wan as the final cornerstone.
Under the leadership of Jiang Ran, the three-person team sneaked into "Ouroboros"'s core stronghold outside the city. There, they witnessed thousands of modified superpowers reduced to living batteries, and faced the crazy ambitions of "Moon".
When the truth was peeled back layer by layer, Shen Qingqiu and Lin Wan discovered that they not only had to fight against powerful enemies, but also faced a more desperate choice: If the "Embryo of God" could really create a new world without pain and war, should they destroy it with their own hands?
The night is fading, but before dawn there is still a deeper darkness.
Intent: The imperfection of human nature and the illusion of divinity: "Ouroboros" tries to create a perfect "god", but the experiences of Shen Qingqiu and Lin Wan prove that it is the pain, struggle, and imperfection that constitute true humanity. True salvation is not in becoming gods, but in being human and supporting each other in suffering.
Resisting fate and self-definition: Shen Qingqiu went from "weapon" to "person", and Lin Wan went from "seeker" to "successor". They are both resisting the fate they have been given. The story explores how individuals can regain the right to define their own destiny in a huge system and conspiracy.
Bonds and redemption: In the abyss of despair, the bonds between people are the only glimmer of light. Shen Qingqiu and Lin Wan serve as anchors for each other, and Jiang Ran's return and atonement demonstrate the power of "love" and "trust" in confronting nihility and madness.
