Ember Galaxy

On the day Guangcheng fell, maintenance engineer Shi Kong only had time to take away his apprentice Xiaoyu and a coupler that was overloaded and melted down. The Shadow Mecha of the Plunder Alliance crushed the ruins, and the quantum collapse bomb aimed at the core of the earth. On this dying planet, Shi Kong has only one thought: to protect his own people. But he didn't protect it. Xiaoyu was swallowed up by dark energy before his eyes. In the melted coupler, there was a very faint light - that was the last temperature of the child left in the universe. From then on, Shi Kong's mecha's right arm remained in a melted state forever. Don't repair. Because that was the last place Xiaoyu touched. The genetic test subject Ling Zhuo, the unemotional quantum consultant Yang Chen, and the sniper Xian Feng who was responsible for 372 lives - four people with their own traumas came together because of the same ruins. They are not heroes, just a group of people who refuse to let go. From the Xuanhuang Star's core to the interstellar defense line, from the alliance fleet to the ancient dark energy system, they protected and lost along the way. Until Shi Kong finally understood—— He is not protecting Xiaoyu. It was Xiaoyu who gave him a second way with his life. Embers are not debris, they are fire. The mecha will eventually go out, but the starry sky remembers every light that ever lit up. The mecha is gone, but the embers are still there.
