Traces Returning from the Void

The Ruined Realm cycles endlessly. Its calendar resets the lives of all, erasing every truth and memory and trapping humanity in an eternal dead end of blind conformity and internal strife.

No golden finger, no heaven-defying talent. Xu Yan, a low-level archivist, steps into the game himself, using a clear mind and careful deductions to rip through layers of deception and glimpse the cruel truth: these so-called trials and being reborn are nothing but a selection game in which the powerful tame people's minds and hunt down those who awaken.

The six realms of the Ruined Realm are the world's core means of survival, rooted in the traditional Eastern concept of the Six Paths.

The six realms temper human nature; a single wisp of memory bears a thousand wounds.

In the ultimate struggle between obedience and defiance, self-interest and redemption, he joins his scarred companions to fight fate. With the faint light of ordinary people, they break the cage of numbness that has endured for ten thousand generations.
