Remains of the Law

In 3179 AD, the human expedition ship "Guixu" discovered a city suspended inside a black hole at the edge of the Milky Way. Time stood still in the city, and millions of people maintained their last moments of death, while the black hole had no gravity. After entering the city, archaeologist Shen Guan heard a warning from a civilization that had been extinct for a billion years: the speed of light, gravity, time, cause and effect, and even death in the universe are not naturally formed laws, but the "last words" written into the universe before the destruction of ancient civilizations. Every civilization has tried to eliminate a form of pain. Some people create eternal life, but let life lose renewal; some people establish absolutely correct systems, but eliminate freedom; some people connect all consciousnesses to each other, but make individuals disappear completely. They did not escape destruction in the end, and could only turn their answers into laws, forcing those who came after them to continue to live in their choices. At the same time, a cosmic mechanism called the "Zeroth Law" is awakening. It will reset all physical laws and bring all civilizations that rely on the existing universe to nothingness. Shen Guan, expedition captain Irina, system designer Han Zhu, consciousness life Mingzhao and artificial intelligence "Zero" embarked on an expedition across the star sea to find the ruins of the seven laws. As the truth gradually emerges, Shen Guan discovers that the real danger is not Law Zero, but the obsession of all civilizations with the "single correct answer." Facing the impending collapse of the universe, he must make a choice: protect this imperfect world composed of countless sacrifices, or destroy everything and rewrite the rules for an unknown future.
