When the sleeping civilization awakened in the abyss, mortals were forced to become pawns of the gods. During a routine inspection of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Su Wan, a graduate student in the Department of Archeology, accidentally triggered a mutation in the murals that had not been seen for thousands of years. From then on, he was involved in a secret war that spanned ancient and modern times. She discovered that she could see "dust shadows" that ordinary people could not detect - those memory fragments erased by history, and each afterimage pointed to a sealed truth: in ancient times, humans had signed a contract with beings from the "dust abyss", exchanging power at the expense of civilization, which ultimately led to the destruction of prehistoric civilization. Nowadays, the seal of Chen Yuan is loosened, and all forces are ready to move. Some people want to restart the contract to rule the world, and some want to completely destroy Chen Yuan and end the reincarnation. Under the guidance of her mentor, the mysterious organization "Mausoleum Keepers" and a stranger who claimed to be from the future, Su Wan gradually revealed the secret of her life experience - she was actually a descendant of an ancient contractor, and her body had the "source blood" that could open or seal the abyss of dust. In the process of pursuing the truth, she must face trust and betrayal, sacrifice and redemption, and make choices that can change the destiny of mankind in the gap between history and reality. When the last fragment of the mural was put back into place and the door to the dusty abyss opened, Su Wan finally understood: the so-called gods are just more ancient prisoners; and the real salvation never lies on the altar.
Intention: The so-called gods are just more ancient prisoners; and the real salvation is not found on the altar.
