In the Abyss,
On Black Mountain, wreathed in an aura of endless misfortune, stood the incongruous Immortal Spirit Linglong Tower.
After a ripple of spatial distortion, a grand and ethereal voice emerged from the Linglong Tower: "Mortal, you have successfully caught my attention. State your wish."
No one answered.
"Uh, he's dead? That complicates things. It was quite a hassle to come out, and returning without doing anything would be rather awkward."
"In that case, you may state the wish in his stead, imprisoned young lady."
"I grant you the ability to speak."
The young lady stammered, "I… I wish for everything to start over."
"Start over? That is possible, but be warned: everything in this world will vanish. Moreover, your wish will be centered on the one who summoned me.
His time will be reset. This world will exist only in his memory, and all else will cease to be—including you.
Are you still willing?"
"I am. Please, let him start over."
"As you wish."
At that moment, heaven and earth reversed, all of creation regressed, and the very laws of existence were rewritten.
