Immortal, but Wants to Die

He had the eternity that the world could only dream of, but he ended up going to court and begging to end his life. In 260 BC, the blood of the Changping Battle soaked the first grain of wheat he got. In 755 AD, the moonlight in Chang'an once illuminated the wine glass handed by Li Bai, and also reflected the flames of the Anshi Rebellion. In 2024, his memory becomes the final truth in the battle for the digital age. In 3024, he was the last "old human" in the interstellar court. Gu Yuan survived it all. He once thought that eternal life was the ultimate answer, that he could read all the prosperity, learn the truth, and control the direction of history. But he was wrong. Eternal life is the cruelest microscope, infinitely magnifying every lost love, every scar of civilization, and every futile struggle. He has become a walking history book and a lonely soul imprisoned by time. When AI can simulate emotions, when memories can be tampered with at will, when the very definition of "human" begins to waver... Gu Yuan discovers that the memory of "reality" he has guarded for three thousand years has become the last relic of the old world and the most dangerous flame. This is not a story about how to live forever. This is a story about why you should die. It is also a question: At the end of eternity, what is worthy of being illuminated in an instant?
