On a stormy night, food deliveryman Mu Ze saves a mysterious girl named Su Li, triggering the forbidden power sealed inside his family’s ancestral amber: his consciousness can leap between parallel timelines, at the cost of the real world breaking apart into hideous “Time-Erosion Rifts.” An iced Americano delivered ahead of schedule pulls him into the crosshairs of the multinational conglomerate “Eye of Deep Space” and reveals the quantum truth controlled by the Mu family:
The “New Harbor Great Blackout” orchestrated by his father twenty years ago was actually meant to seal an observation passage used by a higher-dimensional civilization.
Beneath every 5G base station in the city lies a sleeping nest of nanobugs capable of devouring human consciousness.
And the serial number flashing at the back of Su Li’s neck reveals that she is the most perfect “defective product” among the mass-produced clones slated for destruction.
When Mu Ze discovers that every timeline leads to the same ending, with him becoming the god-slayer who launches the “Wandering Civilization Project,” he is forced to struggle against a paradox:
Every time he reads someone else’s memories, his understanding of his own identity becomes permanently muddled.
Every time he reverses time to save Su Li, the world gains another unrepairable Time-Erosion Zone.
The stardust spinning inside the amber is the death knell rung by another version of himself, knocking from a higher dimension.
At that moment, a new abnormal order appears on his phone’s navigation screen:
[Deliver despair to the eve of the apocalypse at 23:59]
As the countdown reaches zero, Mu Ze sees the face of his pursuer in the Time-Erosion mirror: it is his own, corrupted self, wearing a shattered piece of amber.
This book will answer several deadly questions:
If saving the person you love means becoming the destroyer of the world, would you be willing to bear that original sin?
If human civilization is merely a sandbox for higher-dimensional beings, is a world that has been rebooted 138 times still worth saving?
