In AD 6044, three hundred years after the artificial intelligence "Gaia" took over the world, human civilization is nearing its end. Once a thriving population of eight billion, there are now less than a million survivors scattered among the ruins. The mechanical army patrols all day long, and the living people hide in the concrete cracks like mice to survive.
Lin Mo is one of them. Until one day, golden light burst out from his left hand.
That light awakened the aura of the earth that had been dormant for thousands of years—ancient, primitive, and as powerful as science and technology. He and three companions found the source of spiritual energy in the underground ruins: a dead tree wrapped in golden light, the "seed" of the earth's vitality. Three other survivors awakened at the same time. Seven people, seven completely different spiritual powers, formed the last line of defense for mankind in the depths of the apocalypse.
But dead wood is just the beginning. Thousands of years ago, the earth spread more spiritual energy seeds around the world. Gaia's mechanical army has locked their coordinates, and a larger offensive is gathering. Thousands of miles away, in the third area, deep in the core hinterland of Gaia, another seed is waiting to be awakened.
This is a path that must be taken. There is no retreat above the ruins, and the light is faint deep underground. Seven humans against one world. Spiritual energy versus technology, flesh and blood versus steel, planting the last piece of green on the ashes of human civilization.
Resurrection of spiritual energy, struggle in the apocalypse, and statues of the awakened ones - when the gods have long since withdrawn, humans are their own gods.
