This is a universe that is "rusting". Like a precision machine that has been running continuously for eons, the gears are starting to wear out and the fuel is running out.
Everyone is rotting away obediently amid the roar of this machine. No matter whether it is the plutocrats of Ethereum City or the scavengers at the bottom of Styx, they cannot escape the invisible "death line".
Until that day, Lin Yuan saw a line of code that did not belong to this world in the black iron book without words.
He discovered that the operating logic of this machine was wrong. He saw the variable that was ignored by everyone and beyond calculation.
...
"If the destined outcome is destruction, then I will be the one wrong."
——When the world dies in heat death, I am the only variable.
