The earth in the 22nd century is a steel cemetery where neon and rust coexist.
Time has become the cruelest currency. Every gasp of the poor is marked with a price, and the countdown timer of the rich flashes the eternal 9999 years.
The night Zhao Tianhao picked up his sister in the garbage dump, the TS-042 code dancing in the eyes of the robot destined to escape across dimensions. When he awakened his 7-second retrieval ability in a black market clinic, he glimpsed the bloodiest truth - those time particles exchanged for pawning memories were actually the quantum crystals of human beings' dying screams.
From the dark alleys of Kowloon Walled City where life is sold, to the exchange where blood is distilled in the Blood Moon Realm; from the Temple of Eternal Life where the gears of the Iron Realm are interlocked, to the roots of the World Tree in the Photosynthetic Execution Ground of the Emerald Realm, they carry the Time Skeleton Light Cocoon that pierces the spinal cord, tearing open the cracks in time and space amid the hunting of the seven major forces.
The memory of the death of the mother's hundred thousand reincarnations floats in the sea of void, and the Möbius strip brand on the chest of the father's clone burns every time and space. When their sister's silver hair turned into stardust that devoured dimensions, and when Zhao Tianhao's silver blood flowed back into a code that rewritten cause and effect, they finally saw clearly that the so-called time war was just an ancient virus parasitic on the nerve endings of all mankind, and they were just the rust spots of rejection when the universe healed itself.
In this ouroboros-like time ring, can killing the past self end the future reincarnation?
