If Memory Can Be Tampered With

When memories can be edited, loyalties can be implanted, and history can be rewritten, is the order of civilization the consensus of all living beings, or is it a collective illusion woven by power? Humanity relies on ancient star gates to span three major star regions. Non-renewable star marrow particles are the only energy source for interstellar navigation and neural fabric technology. The central oligarchic Star Council monopolizes the memory web, uses the "Great Silence Incident" to erase the history of colonial wars, prunes the cognition of billions of people into a peaceful and prosperous era, and relies on spiritual shackles to maintain governance. Caleb Thorne was once the youngest chief memory adjuster of the Parliament, pruning memories and sealing the truth with one hand. Until a taboo experimental fragment invaded his nerves, turning him from a knife-wielder to a "de-weaver". The nerve remnants were torn day and night, and the broken memories were swallowed up in turn. He became a malfunction sample that the Parliament must eliminate.

The four major forces are bound to each other and have undercurrents. There is no absolute good or evil, only eternal interests. He is a chess piece that all parties can win over, and he is also a game-breaker who can overturn the chessboard at any time. From assassinations in the mines to sieges in the hub, from power struggles in the core area to ancient echoes in the void, the legendary claustrophobic star gate gradually reveals its true appearance, and the remaining consciousness of the ancient Weaver civilization slowly awakens. All wars and peace, resistance and domination are under the overlook of the older will from beginning to end. Humanity thinks it is fighting for freedom and order, but in fact it has long been a sacrifice for the rebirth of ancient civilization...
