My name is Ye Chen, a person who picks up rags in the long river of time.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a metaphor. My job is to sneak into the fault lines of history and salvage those "relics of time" washed out by the long river of time - it may be a stone engraved with mysterious symbols 30,000 years ago, or it may be a wine glass from which an ancient great power drank.
It was a promising job until one day I found a slab of stone that shouldn't be there.
Carved on the stone slab are two suns, two universes - exactly the same, but completely opposite.
Then, the "I" in the mirror walked out of the stone slab.
He and I have the same face, but he told me in the gentlest tone: "Your universe is just a shadow. I am the real one."
From that day on, my world changed.
The river of time begins to flow backwards, and monsters that do not belong to this universe crawl out of the cracks in history. The person I trust most may be replaced by another "her" at any time.
What's even more terrifying is that I discovered that the memory of the entire universe is being erased bit by bit.
Only I remember.
Because I am the first leaf of this cosmic tree.
My roots are rooted in the source of the long river of time, and my crown supports the sky of this universe.
If they want to pollute my roots, then I will swim against the current and borrow strength from the end of time.
If they want to destroy my world, then I will break the mirror and tell me in another universe——
Fuck your shadow.
Lao Tzu, that's the real thing.
