The Lamp of a Dying World

On the night Qingya fell, Shen Duchen lost his master, his fellow disciples, and the person he loved most. He also gained a lamp that could take him back to the past.

He thought that if he started over enough times, he could eventually save everyone.

It wasn't until he entered Guixu and saw the worlds he had abandoned that he understood: what they called reincarnation was never about turning back time. Every time he lit the World-Ending Lamp, it burned the soul of someone he had known and cast an entire former world into the abyss.

As those he once knew gradually forgot him, and the discarded history began to return, Shen Duchen had to make his final choice:

Sacrifice the present world to let everyone be reborn, or extinguish the lamp with his own hands and accept an ending that could never be undone?
