Summary

A top-tier powerhouse dispatches his avatar Lan Feng to wander the cosmos, where Lan Feng stumbles into a spiritual prison set by the gods and exchanges memories with souls trapped there for ten thousand years, passing the time by living through others' lives. Told through intersecting stories and timelines, the narrative interweaves avatars, sentient objects with independent personalities, and an otherworldly tale spanning two generations. Burdened by a system that appears to be a blessing but is in truth a curse, the protagonist presses forward through encounters with elves, beast tides, and throne conflicts, with the central figure shifting from chapter to chapter.

Editor's review

Suited to Eastern fantasy readers who enjoy slow-burn setting-driven stories and are willing to follow ensemble casts and clone perspectives. Its appeal lies in the worldbuilding, the power system, the "memory-sharing" narrative, and the anti-formula interpretation of the system's curse; the weakness is the high information density at the start and the shifting main characters, which can pull readers seeking fast-paced satisfaction out of the story.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Eastern fantasy readers who enjoy worldbuilding and system-heavy fiction
Readers who can accept multiple protagonists and interlinked story arcs
Readers interested in clone and anti-formula system themes

Not a good fit for

Readers seeking single-protagonist fast-leveling power-fantasies
Readers who prefer tight, fast-paced openings

Reading tips

Read the "power tiers + professions" setting chapter first, then enter the main text for easier understanding of the system
Treat each volume as a standalone tale and sort out character relationships along the timeline
Slow down at memory-sharing passages and watch for foreshadowing and echoes

FAQ

Does this book have a single protagonist?

No; the text links stories and time, and the protagonist may change from chapter to chapter.

Is the system a cheat power?

The text explicitly states the system is more like a curse forcing the protagonist than a simple blessing.
