The Deed of Time

The rusty iron city hangs over the abyss, and time is the most expensive currency. In order to save his sister who was suffering from "entropic erosion", the poor boy Luojia signed a contract with the god of the abyss and became a "Time Abyss Walker" fueled by memory. He can glimpse the lifespan of all things and reverse the moments of life and death, but he has to trade "forgotten smiles of loved ones" in exchange for power. And when the Star God bloodline that destroyed civilization awakened in his sister's body, Lorgar discovered that this deal was far from redemption - the world had already fallen into a cycle of repeated destruction 119 times. The so-called "Fountain of Time" was a scam by the gods to absorb human nature, and he himself was actually an afterimage left by the last cycle. Steam gears gnaw at the sky, and the amber of time seals the cries of all sentient beings. Here, there are people who cut out the heart and transformed it into a clock, just to delay the aging of their lover; there are nobles who drink the sand of time brewed by the life span of the poor, and indulge in carnival at the eternal banquet; there are also mechanical girls who cut open the flesh and implant the fire of pre-astral calendar civilization, gambling on the meaning of existence to light the God-killing Bell. When the Rusty Iron City falls into the abyss, Lorgar must choose: strip off the last trace of humanity and become a new god, or turn the twisted clock back to its original point at the cost of self-annihilation? **"Do you want to correct time, or save her in time?"** ——This is a war that stakes the meaning of human existence, and the bargaining chip is the boy's gradually disappearing memory, a ray of compassion that he has played with the gods for thousands of years.
