A fire in the library in Yunxi Town caused scholar Lin Yan to lose his only home and mentor. On the verge of death, he rescued a dying ink-colored spiritual fish and accidentally activated the "Eternal Life Tracing System" - every time he repaired a civilized book, he could extend his life span for a hundred years and unlock cross-domain capabilities.
From then on, he carried the fragments of "Realm Test" left by his mentor and embarked on a journey with the spiritual fish Mo Lin:
In the mortal world, words are used as a shield to resist the book-burning disaster of immortal cultivators, and cracks in the realm are opened by the tide of spiritual energy;
In the spirit world, disguised as a monk, he sneaked into the Wenxin Sect and revealed the truth about "the cycle of rise and fall of the sect" in the fragmentary pages of ancient books. He discovered that Yuanxu was using the forgetwort to steal the fire of civilization;
In the divine realm, he joined the Civilization Guardian Alliance and used the law to simulate the chaotic energy of the ultimate law enforcer. However, he witnessed Mo Lin revealing the true form of the guardian beast of the ancient realm and burning his life to protect him;
Finally arriving in the world of chaos, I found the complete "Realm Test" in the ruins of the collapsed civilization, and realized that eternal life was never a gift - Yuanxu was not a villain, the loopholes in chaos were swallowing up all the worlds, and his system was originally the "last line of defense" left by the ancient civilization.
From repairing an ancient book to integrating the energy of civilizations in the three realms, from avoiding the hunted book boy to the guardian of establishing a new order in the realm, Lin Yan always remembers his mentor's dying words: "Where the classics are, there is civilization."
When the holes in chaos were filled by the pillars of civilization, and when the rifts in the realms turned into bridges of communication, he chose to return to Yunxi Town and rebuild the small library.
After all, the meaning of eternal life has never been to dominate the world, but to watch the children's eyes light up with the same light as him when they opened the books.
