Top of the Stars

On his sixth birthday, Lin Shan touched the star core fragment that tore apart the dimension from the glass koi. When the sky burned the city, my mother burned the star embroidery and turned it into quantum chains, and my father used his flesh and blood to activate the anti-entropic seal of the bronze compass, sealing Liuli Town in the Klein bottle-shaped space-time cemetery. The boy in the ruins clutched the cosmic crystal cluster seeping into his palms. In the aftermath of the mechanical remains of the silicon-based civilization and the Shepherd's magical weapon, he could see the quantized afterimages of his parents turning into star maps. When the bronze gear bites the twelve-dimensional truth, the epic of spiritual roots of cultivation and cosmic string theory resonates, roaring and awakening from the ashes solidified in Planck time.
