[When the laws of science collide head-on with the cycle of heavenly fate]
Quantum physicist Lan Tian is reborn as a baby in the cultivation world after an explosion in his laboratory, only to discover a “Star Core” in his dantian that carries his lover’s consciousness. This scientist, who should have died three hundred years ago, becomes a key piece on Heaven’s chessboard because of his unique status as an observer. Every breath he takes rewrites the laws of cultivation, and every flow of spiritual energy tears at the continuity of space-time.
[Blood pacts in the Netherworld Sea of Blood and a quantum plague]
A bone dragon knight from the Netherworld crosses realms to hunt him down, carrying a broken Chi Dragon jade pendant. The “Star Core Host” they speak of is actually a vessel for Lanmei, in quantum form. Forced to sign a forbidden contract with the Sea of Blood, the protagonist uses himself as bait to draw off his pursuers. But as he flees, he discovers that the cultivation world has already been engulfed by a quantum plague: dormant nanobots of the same origin as those in the laboratory lie within awakened cultivators.
[Seventeen layers of truth in a mirror world]
When the protagonist touches the fragments of a star map left behind by Lanmei at the bottom of a meteor crater, seventy-two parallel space-times suddenly overlap before his eyes. In one world, Lanmei is activating a space-time device in a bloodstained protective suit. In another dimension, the back of the compass held by a white-haired Daoist is etched with the quantum entanglement pattern on the protagonist’s left hand. Most painful of all is a hidden thread: the convergence point of every worldline points to the ruins of the Tianshu Sword Pavilion on the night the star calendar ends.
[The observer paradox and the choice to create the world]
“You think you’re saving the world, but you’re only a ripple of probability in a quantum fluctuation.” The Netherworld Sea of Blood emissary’s dying words still echo in his ears. When the protagonist finally sees Lanmei’s phantom inside the Klein bottle piled high with stellar remains..
