Slay the Gods: The Recorder of History

[Canon pairings broken, two male leads, main character is the bottom, 101, original male lead pairing Lin Qiye and An Qingyu. Important: Yu and Ye are strictly platonic, with no romance!!!]

[I haven’t finished reading the original or outlining the whole story. I’m writing as I go and filling in and revising the outline, so there may be lots of bugs. There are many original elements and major changes, and the story combines the original novel with the anime. Slow burn, amateur writing, apologies for any out-of-character moments. One or two chapters a week. Please leave lots of comments; they’re what motivate me to update!]

At the dawn of this Blue Star, He came into being.

He was the embodiment of the laws, of fate, of cause and effect, of civilization.

He was “forgotten by time,” the “recorder of history,” the “observer of the world.”

He witnessed this planet change from a boundless ocean into seven continents and four oceans. He witnessed the origins and evolution of life, and the birth and development of civilization…

He had no physical form. Dust, raindrops, breezes, the sky, the land, and all other intangible things were His “eyes.” He could “see” anything that happened anywhere in the world, at any moment.

His mission was to record it all in the book that had come into being alongside Him, then sift through and compile those records into volumes to give to humankind.

Those blessed with fortune could sense Him. When necessary, He would offer them some help, becoming both mentor and friend to the Chosen Ones.

He had no human emotions or desires. Coldly watching and remaining unmoved was His usual state.

But later, He gained a physical form and a name. His white hair turned black, and the dark patterns on his body that represented the laws disappeared.

“He” became “he,” and joined this world.
