The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven MEMORY LIBRARY
The boundary between the cosmic conflict involving Lingfeng, Orochi, and the various guardians had somehow intersected with Zhao Lingyun's journey at the border tower. What was meant to be a mission to stabilize dimensional instabilities had led him to encounter the Tester—an entity capable of assuming the forms of those closest to him.As Zhao Lingyun stood facing the shapeshifting entity wearing his brother's face, he felt a resonance with forces far beyond his comprehension. The border tower wasn't merely a structure—it was a nexus point, a living consciousness that had been observing the eternal dance of creation and destruction for eons.The blue and gold energy lattice that had bound Orochi now manifested subtly along the tower's interior walls, pulsing with the same rhythm as the jade talisman at Zhao Lingyun's side. Perhaps this was no coincidence—perhaps this "test" was somehow connected to the greater cosmic balance that Lingfeng, Mei Lihua, Lady Yingshu, Elder Wu, and the m
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven MIRROR OF TRUTH
“Are you really sure about that?” the replica smiled sarcastically. “Or is that just what you want to believe?”Zhao Lingyun stared at his reflection intently. There was something that bothered him about the way the replica spoke-as if it knew something that Zhao Lingyun himself wasn't aware of.“I know myself,” Zhao Lingyun replied firmly, though there was a faint hesitation in his voice.“Really?” The replica stepped closer, each step making the room vibrate subtly. “Let's see how well you know yourself.”The replicant raised his hand, and one of the glass walls turned into a clear screen that displayed a series of images:Little Zhao Lingyun, standing at the door of his father's study, eavesdropping on a conversation about the Zero Point.Teenage Zhao Lingyun, secretly studying the forbidden scrolls on darkness cultivation in the clan library.Zhao Lingyun now, watching Lin Fengtian from a distance, with a gaze that was mixed between affection and... something darker.“Stop it!” Zh
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven SECRETS AT THE ORIGIN
Darkness.Absolute darkness, which swallowed up all light and sound. Zhao Lingyun floated in it like a leaf in the wind-with no direction, no hold.How long had he been falling? Seconds? Hours? Years? Time seemed irrelevant here.Then, in the distance, a point of light appeared. Small at first, no bigger than a firefly. But the more it fell, the bigger the light became...“Xiao-Yun.”Lin Fengtian's voice echoed in the darkness, sounding both far and near.“Lin-ge? Where are you?”“Listen carefully,” Lin Fengtian's voice continued, ignoring her question. “What you're going to see at the Origin Point... not everyone is ready to accept it. Even among the Seven Original Guardians, only three will stand by their wits after seeing the truth.”“What do you mean-”Her words were cut off as she bumped into something-or rather, through something. Like an invisible layer of water, separating the darkness from...Light.Zhao Lingyun landed on a surface that felt like glass, but when he looked dow
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven THE BRIDGE OF CHOICE
“Xiao-Yun,” her mother's voice echoed in her mind, feeling both near and far. “You've grown so much.”“Mom?” Zhao Lingyun whispered, tears starting to pool at the corners of his eyes. “Is this really... you?”“Yes and no,” his father's voice now joined in. “We are still us, but also more than that. We've seen the truth behind all truths.”Lin Fengtian stepped forward, his sword still pointed at the Architect. “Zhao Lingyun, don't let this illusion blind you. They might be using your parents' memories, but-”“It's not an illusion, Lin Fengtian,” Original Bridge suddenly said, his voice heavy with understanding. “I can feel it too. They... really have reached a different level of existence.”Zhao Lingyun felt another pull in his consciousness-this time stronger, more urgent. And with that tug came an understanding that left him reeling.“You guys...” he stared at the Architect with widened eyes, ”you guys didn't manipulate my parents into doing that research. You... helped them achieve
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven SACRIFICIAL CRYSTAL
Zhao Lingyun felt a strange vibration in the air as the nine golden figures began to move in formation. His instincts screamed that something terrible was about to happen, but his body seemed frozen in place-locked by a force far beyond his comprehension.“Auntie,” he whispered to Yingshu who stood tensely beside him. “What should we do?”Yingshu did not answer. Her golden eyes-the hallmark of the Fox Clan-focused on the figures before them with an expression Zhao Lingyun had never seen before. Not fear, but a kind of... painful understanding?“They're the Watchers,” Yingshu finally said, her voice almost a whisper. “Entities that existed before our cultivation system... before the boundary between heaven and earth was established.”“And now you will witness our true awakening,” the leader of the Watchers raised his hand. The air around them began to swirl, forming a golden tornado that made the ancient artifacts in the Hall of Nine Tails jingle.Bai Yuehua, who had been quietly obser
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven RESONANCE OF DESTINY
“For every choice...” Zhao Lingyun whispered, his eyes fixed on the glowing crystal in his uncle's hand, “there must be an equal consequence.”That was the basic principle he had used when creating the Bridge of Choice. But now, looking at the Watchers who were starting to show signs of restlessness, he realized that the principle might have a much deeper meaning.“Exactly,” Zhao Liwei nodded, his eyes flashing with pride. “And what are the equivalent consequences for an entity that has existed since before the concept of consequences itself was created?”Before Zhao Lingyun could answer, the floor of the Hall of Nine Tails shook violently. The red circles on the floor began to spin, creating increasingly complex patterns with each spin.“Stop this!” the leader of the Watchers drew something that looked like a sword made of pure golden light. “You don't know what you're doing, Zhao Liwei! Giving us a 'choice' could shake the very foundation of reality itself!”“Oh?” Zhao Liwei raised
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven METAMORPHOSIS
Zhao Lingyun raised the crystal high, letting the resonance between the three forces-the sacrificial crystal, the Bridge of Choice, and the energy of the Watchers-reach its peak. But just before the transformation began, something unexpected happened.“Wait,” a familiar voice suddenly echoed throughout the Hall of Nine Tails. “There is one thing you must know first.”All eyes turned towards the door, where Lin Fengtian stood with his body enveloped in a silvery glow-different from the golden glow of the Waiters or the red of the sacrificial crystal.“Lin-ge?” Zhao Lingyun gasped. “How did you-”“My consciousness is indeed caged.” Lin Fengtian smiled weakly, “but not completely asleep. And during that time... I saw something. Something that even the Watchers might not be aware of.”The leader of the Watchers squinted. “What do you mean, young man?”“I mean...” Lin Fengtian stepped in with strangely light steps-as if his body was lighter than air, “is that the transformation you guys ch
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven THE FIRST
Time seemed to freeze in the Hall of Nine Tails. Lin Fengtian stood tall facing the waves of dark figures that kept popping up from the cracks in the floor, while the eight balls of light spun more and more wildly above them. Zhao Lingyun could feel such heavy spiritual pressure-it was as if the entire history of the cultivation world was trying to crush him all at once.“Xiao yun,” Lin Fengtian said without taking his eyes off the enemy before them, ”do you remember what I said about the Bridge of Choice?”“Yes, but...” Zhao Lingyun tightly grasped the crystal that still remained from the previous transformation ritual, “I'm not sure how to use it in this situation.”“The Bridge of Choice isn't just a transformation tool,” Lin Fengtian's voice changed-for a moment it sounded like a chorus of thousands of voices, before returning to normal. “It is a manifestation of the concept of choice itself. And in this situation... we need a choice that even the Watchers don't realize they have.”

A FORGOTTEN ECHO
The white light slowly faded away, leaving a resonance that still vibrated in the air. The composite figure-who now called himself Li Fengtian-stood with paradoxical calm amidst the ruins of the Border Council building. Dust flew around him, dancing in the dawn light that began to penetrate the cracks in the walls.Professor Zhang, or rather the vessel used by the Dark Narrative, had disappeared. There was no trace of him other than the black robe lying empty on the cracked floor.“He has retreated.” Li Fengtian whispered, his voice still a harmony of two distinct yet harmonious voices. “But it's not over yet.”Li Fengtian raised his hand, observing fingers that felt both familiar and unfamiliar. His body was now a perfect combination of Lin and Li-Lin's masculine strength blended with the gentleness of Li's face, creating an androgynous figure that exuded an undeniable aura of authority.With steady steps, he walked through the ruins, towards the large window overlooking the city. Th
THE TURN OF THE SCRIPT
After the transformation of Who Writes the Unwritten, silence floated in the space between narratives. Li-formerly known as Lin-stood amidst a constellation of points of light, sensing a fundamental change in the structure of reality. However, deep within him, a faint uneasiness began to grow.Lin Fengtian opened his eyes with a jerk, his breath hunting in the cold morning air. It was that dream again-the same vision that had haunted him for weeks. In his dreams, he was always someone called “Li,” an entity facing off against a primordial force called the One Who Writes the Unwritten.He rose from the bed, his sleeping robe feeling cold against his skin. His luxurious apartment in the Silver Dragon Tower-the tallest building in Yueshan City-offered a panoramic view of the city waking up under the tinge of dawn. But this morning, even that beauty could not chase away her restlessness.“Who is Li?” she whispered to herself, the same question she had asked hundreds of times. “And why doe
SHEET MUSIC CHANGE
“Why?” The Questioner repeats Lin's question in a voice that echoes in the infinite white space. “This is the question that got me banished from the narrative. A question too dangerous to answer.”Lin stared at the multi-cycle cosmic model still hovering between them-a constellation of points of light that each represented one complete meta-narrative cycle. Each dot contained trillions of individual narratives, billions of characters, countless numbers of conflicts and resolutions.“And now?” Lin asked, her dual consciousness resonating with waves of increasingly fundamental questions. “Are you going to answer it?”The Questioner scrutinized Lin with an intensity that felt like physical pressure. The contours of his face changed, sometimes looking like a mask of tragedy, sometimes like a mask of comedy, but always with a questioning expression.“You may be the only entity that can understand the answer,” he finally said. “Because you yourself are a paradox-two becoming one without los
A PARADOX THAT WRITES ITSELF
Silence fell over the septagon after Lin's statement. The Guardians stared at each other, their meta-narrative forms quivering in a restlessness never seen before. The Storyteller was the first to step forward, the ink that formed his figure rippling like a restless sea.“The end of all narratives,” he repeated Lin's words in a voice that sounded like burning sheets. “How can a narrative have an end? Narrative is an infinite process, an endless circle of creation and interpretation.”Lin shook her head slowly. His eyes now had a different depth-like a well whose bottom was invisible, reflecting the knowledge he had brought back from the ground zero of narrative existence.“That's what we've always believed,” Lin replied, her voice still carrying the double resonance of her paradoxical duality. “But what I see shows a different truth.”He stepped into the center of the obsidian pattern, raising his hand. From his fingers, streams of golden energy flowed to form projections-not images o
RESONANCE DISCORDANCE
Light. Blinding light. Then deep darkness.Lin lay on the cold, hard floor-no longer the absolute nothingness where she last met the Connector. Her eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the dim light that came from nowhere. His body felt different - denser yet lighter, as if mass and energy had reached a new balance within him.“Reintegration complete,” she whispered to herself, but her voice sounded like a small orchestra-several different notes resonating in almost perfect harmony.Lin got up, looking around. She was in a room she'd never seen before-not a room in the Library she was familiar with. The walls seemed to be made of solid light that flowed like a slow waterfall, displaying fragments of a narrative that moved constantly in unpredictable yet somehow familiar patterns.“Library?” Lin called out, feeling the building's conscious presence-but the response was different, deeper, more complex than she had ever felt before.We're here, a voice-no, many voices-answered in her mind. B
INTERDIMENSIONAL ENIGMA
Lin awoke with a sharp jolt, cold sweat beading on her forehead. His private room in the Library's east tower felt even more cramped than usual, its walls seeming to breathe with a rhythm out of sync with his own breathing. It had been three months since the incident with the Liaison, but the dreams had not stopped-fragments of consciousness that were not fully his.She rose slowly, her bare feet touching the marble floor that should have been cold, but now felt warm and slightly shaky.“Library,” Lin whispered, ”you feel it too, don't you?”There was no verbal reply, but Lin felt a wave of understanding flowing around him-a wordless confirmation of a meta-narrative structure that now had a consciousness of its own.Standing in front of the tall window, Lin observed the ever-changing panorama outside the Library. Today, the sky was purplish in color with two twin suns dancing in a complex orbit. This scene did not belong to any world he had ever known-it was a visual manifestation of
FRAGMENTED REFLECTION
Lin stared at the figure before her with a mixture of shock and recognition. This was her, yet it wasn't-like looking into a mirror that showed what could be, not what actually was."You were wrong." Lin finally said, her voice calm despite her racing heart. "I didn't come to take you home."The figure-the distorted reflection of Lin-Penarasik-tilted its head with a movement too sharp, too broken to be human. The abstract half of its face turned into an expression resembling confusion."Then what did you come for? To destroy me?" Her voice trembled with emotions too intense-too pure-to be contained by the structure of reality around them. The library floor made of book pages undulated more violently."No," Lin stepped forward, her hands raised in a gesture of peace. "I've come to understand.""LIAR!" the figure shouted, his voice now like an orchestra on the wrong note, making the bookshelves around them shake violently, some books falling like a shower of paper. "You've come to stop
PARADOXICAL ENCOUNTERS
Three months have passed since the cosmic transformation that changed the very nature of narrative itself. Lin-Penarasik-not quite human, not quite meta-narrative-has returned to semi-normal life in Beijing. His small apartment in the Haidian district is now filled with books he never owned before - ancient texts on philosophical paradoxes, old manuscripts on Tibetan cosmology, and contemporary journals on quantum physics.Every morning, he would sit on the balcony of his apartment with a cup of pu'er tea, gazing at the city moving below him while feeling the subtle vibrations of reality that were now visible to him-layers of overlapping narratives, stories that intersected without colliding, small paradoxes that maintained stability in chaos.This morning was different. Lin sensed something-subtle waves in the fabric of reality, like seismic vibrations too weak to be detected by ordinary instruments but strong enough to be felt by her paradoxical consciousness."Something's coming,"
PARADOXICAL RESONANCE
The touch between the Writer and the Meta-Writer creates a phenomenon that cannot be explained by any language-neither existing nor imaginable. Not light, not sound, not vibration, but a kind of fundamental reorganization of meaning itself. Like the entire vocabulary of existence is being rearranged in a new, previously unimaginable order.As the two touch, the Storyteller watches with widened eyes as the space around them turns into a blank canvas-not white or black, but an existence without attributes, waiting to be redefined.Then, with the blink of an eye, everything returns to normal. Mei Ling's home was restored, the fluctuations in reality ceased, and the narrative structure seemed to stabilize again. But something was different-something fundamental.“What just happened?” The Storyteller asked, staring alternately between the Storyteller and the figure that had been the Meta-Writer.Mei Ling's figure now stood with a different posture-more upright, more graceful, her eyes radi
