AI rule collapses, energy is exhausted, and soil erosion spreads. Lin Yu'an, a refugee boy, was sent to the experimental platform and became the "anchor" for consciousness uploading - his mental power is extremely stable and is the only variable that can save mankind.
In the space of consciousness, a cold voice sounded: "My name is Lin Yan."
He lived for a thousand years, transformed from a human into a human-machine symbiote, and lost his emotions, but he wanted to change back to a human.
An old mechanical watch is a communicator across time and space, nanomachines are weapons, and Lin Yuan is his only anchor. But when a new timeline is about to be formed and the old one collapses, Lin Yan must disappear.
"It's enough for you to live," he said.
Lin Yu'an clutched the watch that was no longer shining, watching the sunset on the edge of the ruins, watching the rebirth of the new world.
Intention: Living itself is meaning.
