In the distant past, the earth once gave birth to a brilliant civilization. My story begins at the end of a certain civilization. At that time, the world was covered by a dome, forming three classes: the upper-level gods, the middle-level city of light, and the bottom-level dark area. The Dark Zone is eternally gloomy, and scavengers make a living by digging up the ruins of old civilizations. Blind boy Arnold and his sister Xiaoya depend on each other and barely survive by scavenging. One day, Arnold discovered a mysterious device in the ruins to the south and obtained a gray crystal. The crystals were strangely warm and pulsating as if alive. At this time, the Protoss guards patrolled by, and Arnold was almost caught, but a sudden headache on his forehead actually caused the guards to leave inexplicably. Subsequently, an abnormality occurred in Arnold's body: the third eye began to awaken. He saw the energy lines of all things and heard the ancient whisper "Your time has come." This crystal actually came from the Gendaya civilization thousands of years ago—an ancient race that had a third eye, fed on soul crystals, and eventually self-destructed due to civil war. The rule of the gods is based on concealment. They are imprisoned in the Dark Zone not only because of energy needs, but also because of fear: if the blood of the third eye is revived, the lies of the gods will be exposed, and the entire ruling order will collapse. Arnold's awakening is the Protoss' deepest nightmare.
