Whispers of the Abyss

In the year 2237 of the Earth's calendar, human civilization detected a signal flow that violated the laws of physics deep in the "Laniakea" super galaxy cluster, which was named the "Whispers of the Abyss" event. Lin Qi, an old-era soldier who slept for a hundred years due to an accident in the "consciousness anchoring" experiment, was accused of being a potential "source of pollution" that caused the disaster after waking up. In order to prove himself and explore the truth, he took the initiative to take mankind's most advanced starship "Fuxi" to the center of the incident. However, as the investigation deepens, a truth that subverts cognition emerges: Humanity's "Fire" consciousness uploading plan is not evolution, but a directed consciousness pollution targeting the entire universe and originating from a Level 4 civilization. In the dark forest of the universe, the most deadly weapon is not the Star Destroyer Cannon, but a basic axiom that has been quietly revised. "When all civilizations believe that consciousness can be separated from matter, they have been forever imprisoned in a cage of energy." - Lin Qi is both the key to the cage and the lock to open it. .
