Due to long-term overhunting and killing, rampant environmental pollution, unrestrained resource exploitation, and the destruction caused by multiple nuclear wars, the Earth's surface has been stripped of plants and animals, rivers and lakes, and the ozone layer, leaving only deserts.
Earth in the year 3005.
The oceans, deprived of freshwater inflow, have become high-salinity "dead seas." The atmosphere is filled with sandstorms and various harmful gases. Humanity can only survive within large cities equipped with air isolation domes, relying on artificial oxygen, algae-based and bacterial foods, and groundwater for sustenance. The path of human survival is nearing its end.
The Earth's Supreme Alliance has dispatched multiple interstellar exploration teams into the cosmos, hoping to find a planet suitable for human habitation and initiate an interstellar migration plan, but all attempts have failed.
An ancient legend has long circulated on Earth: when Earth formed the material world, it also formed a spiritual world. The "Spiritual Energy Core," condensed from this spiritual world, is the source of growth for all things in the universe. It endows all new life with spiritual energy, which grows alongside the life's journey. Upon death, the spirit returns to the "Spiritual Energy Core," cycling endlessly and sustaining its existence. If one could find and release the energy of the "Spiritual Energy Core," it could revive all things on Earth and restore its green vitality.
Professor Xin, the Chief Science Officer of the Earth Supreme Alliance's Academy of Sciences, has always firmly believed in this legend. With the help of the supercomputer (Zeus), he and his colleagues conducted a series of analyses and calculations, but the results were disheartening: spiritual energy coexists with Earth's species. When a species goes extinct, the corresponding part within the Spiritual Energy Core also vanishes. With the massive extinction of Earth's species in the 21st century, the "Spiritual Energy Core" has perished as well.
However, they did not give up. They secretly began developing a Space-Time Converter, planning to send a small team back to the 21st century to save living beings and search for the Spiritual Energy Core. Just as the Space-Time Converter research was making no progress, a strange black hole suddenly appeared at the edge of the solar system. Data from probes indicated that this black hole was actually a space-time tunnel, with its other end leading to the year 2005.
Professor Xin was convinced this was a guiding force from the universe leading humanity toward rebirth, strengthening his resolve to implement the Space-Time Salvation Plan. Overcoming various obstacles, the Space-Time Salvation Team—composed of Yun Hao, Dan Ling, Lang Ga, An Di, Meng Bo, and Ao Luo—boarded the interstellar cruiser "Pioneer" and journeyed to the 21st century.
The Chief of Staff of the Earth Supreme Alliance, General Harris—the person in charge of the Interstellar Migration Plan—is an extremely ambitious career soldier who has long harbored delusions of ruling all humanity. To seize the "Spiritual Energy Core" first, he secretly selected four elite subordinates: Major Bei Zhehan, Lieutenant Tsushima Miyu, Lieutenant Junior Grade Kuko, and Corporal Mos. They piloted the shuttle "Conqueror" to follow the "Pioneer" to the 21st century, scheming to sabotage the Salvation Team's mission. Kuko used a computer virus to alter the "Pioneer's" program—issuing a false alarm of a large-scale attack as it approached Earth's atmosphere. At the last moment, Captain Yun Hao ordered the entire crew to abandon ship and eject in escape pods from the "Pioneer," scattering over China's skies. Only Dan Ling, relying on her unique seventh sense, realized this was a plot by Bei Zhehan's group. She did not enter an escape pod and instead piloted the "Pioneer" to a safe landing on Earth.
To resist the biochemical weapon attacks from Bei Zhehan's group and the threats posed by various 21st-century bacteria and viruses, the salvation team members extracted genes from the first 21st-century animals they encountered and recombined them with their own genes, gaining the ability to transform into animals.
Battles continuously erupted between the two sides during the search for the Spiritual Energy Core and the rescue of endangered animals. In the final decisive battle, the "Conqueror" was destroyed, and Bei Zhehan's group was utterly defeated. They retreated into the city's sewer channels and, to survive and continue fighting, transformed into mosquitoes, cockroaches, rats, and locusts.
After Bei Zhehan discovered the backward technology and the greedy, selfish, barbaric, ignorant... nature of 21st-century humanity, his ambition swelled immensely. He decided to break free from General Harris's control and dominate the Earth of the 21st century alone.
They searched various organisms for bacteria and
