The story takes place in "Mirror Abyss" - a broken plane suspended at the junction of the memory layer and the mechanical wasteland. The protagonist Shi Canghai is a middle-aged archaeologist. When he was excavating an ancient mirror with stars inscribed on it, he was swallowed by the "mirror demon" sealed in the mirror. His soul merged with the mirror demon and became a half-human and half-demon existence. He was forced to embark on the path of cultivating immortality, relying on his talent of "copying other people's abilities" to survive in crises, but his self-memory was worn away every time he used it. During the "Pure Heartland" stage, he met Mo Xuan, a mechanic who advocated "residing in the world to help the people" in an abandoned city, and was pursued by "Shi Shou", a seeker from the future. In order to protect himself, Shi Canghai went deep into the "family memory layer", found the fragments of "The Great Evolution of the Stars and Reincarnations", and awakened the guardian spirit beast "Time and Time Kun". As his cultivation level rose to the "Place of Seeing", he got involved in the dispute between the Ascension Sect and the Worldly Sect, and discovered that the real target of "Time Hunter" was the "Zhouxing Buxang Vein" that had not yet awakened in his body - an innate spiritual vein that could penetrate all memory layers and reach "Absolute Memory". In the end, Shi Canghai had an epiphany in the "inanimate land" and gave up the struggle between ascension and residence in the world. He used his body as a mirror to reflect all things, and turned himself into a bridge connecting the "memory palace" and the "mechanical apocalypse", realizing the true "unity of heaven and man" and making the broken world whole again.
