The protagonist Zhou Jiming, 23 years old, is calm and ruthless but sticks to the bottom line. In the past nine apocalypses, he has led mankind to the final door, but died at the hands of the "savior" Gu Nanlou nine times.
On the eve of the tenth return to the rules, he directly killed the yet-to-be-famous Gu Nanlou during an awakening ceremony that was broadcast live to thousands of people, and thus became a wanted criminal in the city.
The world has fallen into the "Sky Curtain Rules", and cities will be classified as regular disaster areas; human beings have awakened to life patterns, and their strength is divided into levels one to nine. Each level can only solidify one core rule ability.
The protagonist possesses the "Ninth Life Ember Seal": every time a tragedy destined to happen in the previous nine lives is reversed, an old ability can be unlocked. The first volume is unlocked in sequence: Preview three seconds: see multiple outcomes in the next three seconds of the battle
Vientiane Furnace: Smelts the fragments of killed regular creatures. Only one characteristic can be retained at each level.
All living beings borrow fire: after gaining the true trust of others, they can briefly share each other's strength
Past life memories are not the answer. The more the protagonist changes history, the greater the deviation in the future; later it is revealed that the so-called "rebirth" is not a reversal of time, and that the first nine worlds are the remains of a real, abandoned civilization.
