In the year 2045, when humanity stands at the crossroads of civilization, a hidden war is being staged for the fate of species. Luo Lin, who was born as a military doctor in the special forces, met Lin Yue, a biotechnology researcher with the special ability of "seeing life", while tracking down a series of bizarre biological mutation events. The encounter between the two uncovers a shocking secret that is enough to change the fate of mankind: the quantum consciousness technology and mysterious "evolution factor" across the globe are actually the testing ground of civilization laid by alien civilizations. In this world where technology and mutation coexist, human society is divided into "transcendentals" who pursue digital immortality and "primitives" who aspire to genetic evolution. When the evolutionary factor spreads out of control, the quantum consciousness network is invaded by mysterious signals, and human civilization is in an unprecedented crisis. Luo Lin and Lin Yue must find a balance between maintaining humanity and transcending evolution, opening up a third path for humanity beyond the seemingly inevitable trajectory of fate. This is a story of choice, a story of perseverance or change in the face of the unknown, and a story of love and hope that can transcend death and evolution. When the spark of civilization is blown by the wind of fate, where will we go?
