[The stars] [Gray Goo] [All races] [Invincible] [Worlds gaining sentience] [Lighthearted everyday life] [No System]
This is a story about the “world itself.”
Gu Yuan is not a transmigrator.
He is the mother universe from which the three divine systems arose, the true “home” of the gods.
He has lived for far too long.
Long enough to watch countless civilizations kindle their first flames, only to turn to ashes amid greed, war, exploitation, and betrayal.
Long enough to save the world again and again, until he began to wonder:
Is the world really worth preserving, time after time?
And so, “The Once-Burning One” went out.
“ The Ashen Sleeper” was born.
He no longer kindled hope.
He only let the suffering sleep, let those who struggled forget, and let dying worlds stop turning in gentleness.
Until Chi Yu appeared.
She didn’t come to beg him to save her.
She came to steal his home.
She disguised herself as a fragment of the world and tricked him into swallowing her. Then she ascended to the utmost within him, turned the tables, and became the Heavenly Dao of his inner world.
Then she announced, with complete confidence:
“He’s my husband.”
From that day on, the Comforter of the End became an ordinary man again, someone who could get jealous, act cute, slack off, and want to live again for someone’s sake.
But when the story begins, this man has lost his memory.
Wearing a hospital gown and barefoot, he woke up from the cold in the mountains.
No memories, no shoes, no underwear.
