According to rumors, the impending end of the world is at hand. Hidden inside a blue-and-white vase treasured by a museum in Beijing, China, is an ancient scroll fragment that can save Earth from disaster. Guided by fate, Jiang Wenhao, a renowned expert in psychology and geography, arrives in Beijing and joins the effort to defend the planet.
Earth is home to leaders from alien worlds who have been here for ages. These people, long listed on the Guardians' "blacklist," become the ones ultimately tasked with saving the world from this crisis. They look no different from ordinary people, yet their DNA holds Earth's oldest memories and the secret code to supernatural powers capable of saving the planet. The story unfolds through a series of paintings that deliver warnings to humanity, as they seek the secret that will see Earth safely through 2012. This mission must be completed in China.
Through countless trials, Jiang Wenhao follows the clues in the paintings from the Mediterranean to a lost spaceship. To escape his pursuers, he hides in Buckingham Palace, and even travels through a time tunnel with the leaders, returning to two years earlier. Finally, he endures the Wall Street crash and becomes a financial tycoon, honing his supernatural abilities. The location of the legendary Noah's Ark will also come to light. At last, on the appointed day, Jiang Wenhao will pilot a spaceship alone into the skies to fulfill his mission and save Earth...
