Deep Space Totem: Humanity's Spark Project

When humans dug up the legacy of a "god-level civilization" on Mars, they were shocked to realize that the universe was a dark forest examination room—and our test paper had just started counting. In 2145, a "civilization totem" from the Andromeda galaxy was discovered at the Mars base. Scientist Lin Qi thought this was the key to human evolution, but when he deciphered it, he triggered a cosmic broadcast and exposed the coordinates of the Earth to the entire galaxy. In an instant, the alien fleet arrived in the solar system. A civilization called the "Reapers" sent an ultimatum: Either hand over the totem, or the civilization will be destroyed. However, the true holder of the totem - the "Monitor Alliance" - gave another option: to pass three ultimate trials to prove that human beings are qualified to join the ranks of the guardians of cosmic civilization. The content of the trial is incredible: repairing the black hole that is about to explode, resolving the feud between two ancient interstellar civilizations, recreating all wars and peace choices in human history in virtual time and space... Lin Qi gradually discovered that the totem itself was a trap. What it selects is not the strongest civilization, but the civilization that is most like "them". Every time we use the power of totem, human beings are taking a step further away from their own essence, and one step closer to becoming a cold "high-dimensional existence". When teammates choose immortality, when the human government decides to surrender, when alien allies show their fangs - Lin Qi holds the final totem key and faces the ultimate choice: Should we accept this "gift" and elevate humans to god-like managers of the universe? Or destroy the totem, take the incomplete but free human civilization, and walk your own path in the crisis-ridden galaxy? But this time, it's humans' turn to answer.
