Beneath Justice, Beyond Definition

The ultimate truth of the universe is a string of source code that can be rewritten.

The year is 3200, the Era of First Principles. The strong do not cultivate immortality or practice martial arts. They prove theorems and define laws, until they themselves become axioms.

Xia Xuan is a theoretical genius with an A- rating in First Principles, yet he's a “good-for-nothing” in actual combat, unable to invoke even the most basic formula.

That is, until a mass of “absolute blankness” from the universe's primordial beginning enters his consciousness.

From then on, the world looks different to him.

Everything is a formula, and reality is merely readable code. The “First Principles” others struggle to sense have become source code he can compile at will.

While his opponents are still forming hand seals and casting spells, he has already written new rules for the world:

“In this place, the speed of light can change.”

“In this domain, entropy can decrease.”

“Here, my logic is the supreme theorem.”

From defining the friction of a street to proving the equation that makes stars fall;

From rewriting the probabilities of microscopic particles to establishing the absolute nature of his own existence.

While everyone else is still climbing beneath the laws,

he has already reached the summit where all things are defined.

This is a story about cultivating immortality through formulas and becoming a god through logic.

Logic is the blade, truth the armor.
