Yi Cong: Incomplete Freedom

Shen Yuan woke up in the ash-like ruins, and the destiny echo system coldly announced that he had been recruited as a pawn in the trials of the seventh era. Every piece of advice the system gave was suspiciously accurate—just enough to give him a narrow victory. The words left by the predecessors on the old wall were deliberately scraped off, leaving only one sentence: "I thought I broke free. But -" Shen Yuan found that he was different from others - there was a layer missing in his destiny. The system can track his logical reasoning, but it cannot track what choices that missing layer would make him make. Incompleteness is his only freedom. He began to act as a qualified chess piece in front of the system, secretly manipulating the information asymmetry between the players. He went deep into the Ashes Plains and discovered the Gray Civilization that had been repeatedly harvested. He touched the afterimage left by Chu, the player who played the game a thousand years ago, and learned that the entire game was just an unattended harvester. Two players "invest" in him at the same time - the gentle cultivator wants his fate, and the observer in the dark is waiting for him to rewrite the rules. The moment he was watched by two players at the same time, his connection broke through to a new level under extreme stress. He is not a chess player or a chess player, he is a sower - a sower who uses his own incompleteness to connect different worlds. When you discover that every choice you make may be designed, does free will still exist? The answer is: Free will is not given, but chosen—over and over again, in every incomplete moment.
