“Awaken at the brink of death, protect others in the depths of despair.”
In the abyss of despair, time is the cruelest form of salvation.
In 2057, humanity unearthed the “Origin Core” in lunar ruins, a discovery that would change the course of history. They had no idea this dazzling crystal would tear civilization apart. When the Origin Core activated the extraordinary genes in human DNA, it brought with it an invasion by alien races and the threat of annihilation.
Lu Qianchen, a boy cursed by time.
His parents died horribly in a research institute explosion, and his little sister turned to ice crystals in his arms. Awakened by the flames of revenge, his time-manipulation power became his only weapon. With his left hand, he can freeze ten thousand miles; with his right, he can turn back time. This genius, consumed by hatred, joins the mysterious organization Apocalypse, but gradually uncovers the truth behind the rampaging Origin Beasts, the whispers of the Void aliens, and the existence and entanglement of “it” and “Him.” In the end, what does it mean to protect someone?
And when he stands before the origin of the world, he finally understands the fate that runs through past and present:
“Eternity is nothing more than an act of self-redemption along the threads of cause and effect.”
As yellow sands swallow the last city, this lone swordsman who slays Origin Beasts finally understands:
To end the cycle, he must become something more ruthless than time.
“If turning back time means being alone forever... then I'd rather burn away all cause and effect for one chance to rewrite the ending.”
