The genetic sequence base is buried deep under the rock formations and has become the last coffin and fire of civilization. Three hundred elite candidates compete for the position of Chief Firekeeper, to take charge of the Ark Fleet that carries all the hopes of mankind and sail into the deep space of the universe. Wang Yu, who was born as an orphan, crushed the heroes with his absolute strength and reached the top with perfect scores. He was regarded by the alliance as a perfect execution machine. However, when he made the final decision to bind an AI symbiotic partner, he gave up the dominant AI "Phoenix" recognized as the strongest in the league, and made a choice that subverted everyone's expectations. On an interstellar voyage with no return, he and his only companion will face endless loneliness, unknown crises, and the ultimate test of the survival of civilization.
