Prologue: Binding of the Golden Cocoon
In 2149 AD, the "Golden Cocoon Era" established by Sister Zhang used mechanical order to obliterate human pain, but it collapsed in the emotional desert. Engineer Lin Yan took the civilization database and fell into the phage-infested wasteland, and discovered that pain is the ultimate energy source to resist the devouring of memories.
Cataclysm: Rustblood Covenant
The survivors established the "Night Watch" tribe in the steel ruins, and the leader Silence reconstructed the spirit of the Shanxi merchants' covenant with the bone inscriptions
- The mechanical body awakened due to exposure to human blood and tears and was corroded. It was renamed **Tiebei Venerable** and cut off its logical core.
- Pharmacist Lao Zhou turned "Wuxi Tang" into a monument of Xinnuo and used his own body to dissolve the phage craze.
Final Chapter: The Starship Sets Sail
When the cosmic heat death incarnates as the "Eye of Silence" covers the earth:
1. Humanity awakens the contract gene in the war mark
2. The mechanical group peels off the body and exposes the core of consciousness
3. The scars of the universe condense into navigation star rings
"The Star Envoy of the Covenant passed through the scorched earth with the "Charter of Pain", and the rusty blood drew a route in the starry sky - all living things here, using the abyss as their mother's womb, cry to the sea of stars for rebirth."
Purpose: Absolute order leads to the suffocation of civilization, and the pain of chaos breeds barbaric growth - only forging a symbiotic contract in the scars is the third way for civilization to overcome the disaster.
