Wizards hold a supreme position across all continents and planes. Mysterious, wise, cruel, and bloody—these are practically synonymous with wizards. But what are real wizards like? After coming into contact with the wizarding world, Angor came to a conclusion: Wizards are a group of people who use idealistic thinking to illuminate themselves, yet use a materialistic attitude to dialectically analyze the world. In other words, they are a group of unconventional scientists who trudge alone on the path of pursuing truth with a rigorous attitude. Multiple worlds, endlessly overlapping. Intelligent beings, guided by some unseen force, have forged their own paths of civilization. The wizarding world, with its unique cultivation civilization, spans countless planes. Even with the Wizarding World's immense power, the true nature of the universe and the mysteries of dimensions remain unfathomable. Until, a traveler from across the multiverse visited this world. (The traveler is not the protagonist, not the protagonist, not the protagonist—I'm saying it three times because it's important!)

Time travel might offer ambitious individuals or those filled with regret a chance to change their lives and become involved in the grand undertaking of "reviving a fallen kingdom and continuing an interrupted lineage." Time travel also means that while you can consult your wives for domestic matters, you lose the convenience of consulting Baidu for external matters, the "Marlboro" and "Hongtashan" cigarettes you always have on your lips, the "Wuliangye" and "Remy Martin" liquors you drink, the "Zippo" cigarettes that are both a lifesaver and a cool accessory, and even the "Taitai Le," "Maggi," or "Lee Kum Kee" liquors you crave for more varied flavors... Only after the iron curtain, stretching across the torrent of time and space, falls will the time travelers realize how much they miss that world and how much they should cherish it. The protagonist, Ye Tao, is just one of the many time travelers. As an industrial designer, someone whose very being is steeped in quality of life and design philosophy, he has no choice but to lay out his blueprints and build everything he can think of, one by one... Adding a few extra touches along the way.
