Everyone has countless lives they never got to live.
In this world, cultivators can borrow the power of another version of themselves. But the possibilities that should have vanished are turning into calamities, invading the present.
The dead return, old cities reappear, and two histories vie for the same present.
Gu Chang'an fought with everything he had, yet beneath nine waning moons, he still watched ten thousand cities fall into ruin. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to his youth.
Others borrow paths they never took. The life he borrows, however, is one he truly lived, and one he truly failed at.
The experience of that life can give him a head start, but it might also let his old, dying self overwrite the boy before him.
Should he try again to save those he couldn't save? Dare he walk once more down a road where he already failed?
“I accept failure, but I won't let fate make my decisions for me.”
As long as even one possibility remains, the myriad paths are not yet at an end.
