On a rainy night, graduate student Lin Xia discovered the quantum code of the Northern Wei Compass in an ancient book, but a hunt was triggered - she was the Shadow Organization's clone No. 127, And the key to a parallel universe was embedded in her genetic chain. When Lu Chen, an agent of the Space-Time Administration, rescued her, the library was being swallowed by humus: the walls oozed cyber flesh and blood, ancient books turned into living databases, and the shadow of the security guard split into a mechanical killer.
Traveling through the upside-down Dunhuang mirror layer, Lin Xia witnessed an even crueler truth: Jiuyao Compass was a civilization restarter left behind by interstellar refugees, her mother was turned into a quantum ghost in the fire twenty years ago, and Lu Chen's father was the culprit of the cloning experiment. When the cyberized Buddha statue of the Northern Wei Dynasty rises from the sea of sand, she must make a decision within seventy-two hours - let the Administration reset the timeline and erase the superpower, or let the shadow solidify reality with cognitive pollution?
The price for awakening one's powers is memory reconstruction. Every near-death experience tears apart time and space: in a certain universe, she is the queen who rules the Mechanical Tang Empire, and in another timeline, Lu Chen is pressing the annihilation gun against her father's temple. And the deepest nightmare comes from the group of culture chambers: thousands of themselves soaked in mucus, electronic tags flashing like stars - **127-Ω type, with a self-annihilation critical value of 99%.
When the twin moons soared in the sky and the bronze giant woke up from the thousand-year underground palace, Lin Xia finally understood the metaphor of the Phoenix birthmark: the so-called savior is just a variable in the observation experiment of high-dimensional organisms. At this moment, she was holding the quantized compass fragment tightly. Behind her were the laser wings of Cyberfly, and in front of her was Lu Chen's black hole-like Eye of Time.
