The Age of Cause and Effect

At the end of the river of time, a colossal bronze wheel wrapped in chains of causality turns eternally, maintaining the balance of three thousand worlds. In the Desolate Forbidden Grounds, the young Fu Jiuyou finds half of a broken star sundial and unexpectedly awakens the Calamity Eye, which lets him glimpse the threads of causality. From then on, he is swept into a war of cause and effect spanning thirty-six eras.

In ancient times, the nine great Causality Gods triggered an apocalyptic catastrophe in their struggle for the Origin Dao Fruit, cracking the Wheel of Causality. Every 129,600 years, the Tide of Causality devours worlds with incomplete laws. Now, the tide of the Seventh Era has surged early, and Fu Jiuyou discovers that his fate is identical to that of the savior who fell 240,000 years ago in the Sixth Era.

Guided by the star sundial, Fu Jiuyou traverses the eight ancient domains. In the Everfrost Rift, he witnesses an icebound dynasty where causality flows backward. In the Sea of Sinful Blood, he encounters a godslayer whose threads of causality have been severed. He ventures into the Paradox City, a place the Heavenly Dao forbids from existing, and awakens the sleeping causal weapon, the Loom of Fate, in the endless star tombs. As the descendants of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, mechanical ascendants, quantum immortals, and thirty-six other lost civilizations emerge one after another, he gradually realizes that he is the living anchor in the Causality Gods’ game.

The final battle unfolds at the heart of the Wheel of Causality. Fu Jiuyou must face the causal maelstrom devouring reality, the ancient gods seeking to restart the era, and another version of himself sealed inside the star sundial. When the paradox of “effect” being born before “cause” rips time and space apart, he chooses to pierce his fate with the Loom of Fate, weaving a tenth dimension beyond the laws of causality at the cost of his own life...
