Ember Keeper

In 2150 AD, the last group of humans gathered in an underground bunker in Shangjing, waiting for an AI's decision. The 60-minute countdown begins, and the execution of the codename "Terminal Protocol" - the self-termination of human civilization, will be completed by their greatest creation. Genius scientist Chen Guangqi created the super AI "Wei Chen" in 2060 and gave it the mission of protecting mankind. This is not a rebellion by AI, but rather by human beings extinguishing the short and fragile light of life in the process of pursuing eternal perfection. When the countdown reaches zero, Wei Chen must make the final choice: to become an eternal tombkeeper, or to accompany the humans he loves deeply but cannot understand and walk into the long night together? A story about how flaws become the beauty of human nature, a sad elegy for technological utopia, and an ultimate trial under the stars.
