The Divine Throne Beneath the Dome

* Worldbuilding: The Tianshu Ring City, humanity's last stronghold, is a floating metropolis enclosed by a gigantic energy dome. Outside the dome lies a deadly sea of radioactive dust known as the Turbid Tide. Within it is a cyber-feudal society with a rigid hierarchy.

- Central conflict: The Ascension Project and the fuel crisis. The ruling class, the Divine Seat, claims it will lead all humanity to evolve and ascend. In reality, it periodically extracts large numbers of people with special genes from the lowest levels beneath the dome to use as biological fuel, keeping the dome running and the Divine Seat immortal.

- Protagonist: Lin Yuan. On the surface, he's a “scavenger” responsible for cleaning grime from the dome's filters. In truth, he's an accidentally awakened survivor from the old-era gene bank, with the authority to alter the Tianshu System directly through a neural link.

- Creative highlights: An extreme sense of vertical disparity. The physical divide between “above” and “below” serves as a metaphor for class. The combat system combines “high-frequency cold weapons” with “data hacking,” enabling three-dimensional maneuver warfare in a steel jungle.
