Fate has its leaks. Every grain of falling sand becomes cultivation.
Those who lose their way trade memories for power, and when their leaks run dry, they become Ruin Gods. Cultivators across the land compete to see who can forget faster and more completely.
Wen Shi, however, is an inverse leak: while others lose things, he gathers them.
The flavors you lose, the names someone erased, the dead no one remembers: he remembers them all for you. Sand condenses into spirit patterns, and the more that is remembered, the higher the realm it forges.
The world slays the Remnant Monsters; he guides them across. The world fears being forgotten, but he says, "People die twice. The last time is when no one remembers you anymore."
Reverse the flow through the nine realms, and with the memories of all living beings, forge a path of my own.
This time, no one will be left out.
