A Wish for Ten Thousand Lifetimes

Li Yuan transmigrates to a future ten thousand years from now. Earth has been destroyed. Humanity rules the stars, oppressing all other life, while the Eternal King rules all of humankind. He thought his ability was to make a wish. He wished to return to the past, where he spent a happy lifetime with a woman named Tang Feng. Later, he changed his mind. He could take back his wishes. So he wished to bring Tang Feng into the present. He thought he could now live out his life without a care in the world. But what awaited him was a Trial of Seven Stages: Seven worlds designed to evoke fear, sorrow, anger, love and desire, hatred, longing, and joy, created by the Eternal King to numb humanity. Passing the trials is a coming-of-age ceremony. Only after reaching adulthood can people truly travel through the stars. The Eternal King will only let his children roam once humanity is no longer controlled by its emotions. Beyond these worlds, a far grander game is drawing tighter. Every time he makes a wish, something comes one step closer to him. That something knows him. It knew him before he knew himself. It turns out his wishes were never miracles. They were a door. Behind the door, a nameless woman is waiting for him to open it. She doesn't want his life. She only wants him to stop wanting to be himself.
