Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

Luo Kunlun's awareness hovered in the void of the universe, standing still in a purely detached manner, letting the silent restarts play out before his eyes time and time again, without interfering in the slightest.

With each rewind complete, spacetime becomes like a precisely calibrated instrument, the pale blue planet slowly rotates along its predetermined orbit, the city lights on the surface are lit one after another, and the traffic on the streets surges again.

As for that ordinary young man, he would always be woken up by the alarm clock in the early morning, rub his sleepy eyes and sit up, repeating the fixed routine of washing up, commuting, and going to work, just like everyone else in this world, completely unaware of reincarnation.

Through this observation, Luo Kunlun underwent seven more complete restarts.

His awareness grew increasingly sharp, like a fine probe, carefully probing inwards inch by inch to explore the truth of the world while maintaining his disguise.

This cycle is not a natural reversal of time and space, nor is it a simple time reversal or trace overwriting; its essence is more like a sophisticated "archive replacement".

In a higher level beyond surface reality, there exists a fixed "save point". When a rollback is triggered, the entire state of the world will be completely overwritten by the data at the save point.

The old reality is erased, and a new reality is replicated, so perfect that it leaves no gaps, just like a brand new canvas that seamlessly replaces the old work that was covered in dust.

After seeing the true nature of reincarnation, Luo Kunlun's doubts grew even stronger.

If the rollback is a deliberate replacement of the save file, then what exactly are the triggering conditions?

He has deduced countless times the variables of surface reality, observed whether young people have made different choices, paid attention to whether unexpected changes have occurred in the city, and explored whether the planet has been disturbed by cosmic rays.

However, without exception, rollbacks are triggered regardless of whether there are any variables in reality.

There were no warning signs, and no causal relationship whatsoever.

The answer is becoming increasingly clear: there are no conditions for a rollback, or rather, the key to triggering a rollback has nothing to do with this pristine modern reality.

This conclusion allowed Luo Kunlun's awareness to extend beyond the observation of surface reality; he realized that something else existed beyond this reality.

So, he condensed his consciousness into an extremely fine ray of light, abandoned all preconceived notions, and followed the barely perceptible tremor of spacetime during the rewind moment, probing towards the boundary of reality.

Previously, he only felt that this space-time was exceptionally orderly, but now he realized that beyond the surface reality, there was another layer of reality, and a "barrier" separating them.

In order to distinguish that realm hidden outside of reality, Luo Kunlun called it the Inner World.

In stark contrast to the orderly and ordinary surface world, the inner world has no sky or earth, no day or night, only a distorted and churning space and countless drifting wisps of light.

The wisps of light were colorful, some red like flames, some blue like ice, some gold like sharp blades, and some white like soft light. They varied in intensity and drifted, collided, and annihilated haphazardly in the void.

The shimmering light could not have been created by the surface reality; it was more like a trace left by some extraordinary force.

Further in, a blurry yet majestic figure sat silently.

Luo Kunlun could sense that powerful force; this was the ruler of this space-time.

The birth of the inner world is inseparable from him.

.................................................

Compared to the surface world, the scene in the inner world is extremely tragic.

Around that majestic figure seated deep within, enveloped in a hazy halo, were numerous other figures.

These figures come in various forms; some still retain a rough human shape, while others are half-human, half-beast, or simply moving energy aggregates.

They hovered silently in the void surrounding the figure, like cold stars, forming a complex and imposing array.

Regardless of outward appearances, their inner selves are filled with absolute obedience and a cold will to sacrifice everything for their master.

These figures were scattered throughout most of the inner world.

Against them was another small, flickering force, like a candle in the wind.

In an instant, through "observation," Luo Kunlun learned the whole story.

This world is just an ordinary world, where people live according to their daily routines, and the city is bustling with life, with everything following the logic of reality.

Until one day, without warning, a group of people gained special abilities.

Their abilities are diverse and unpredictable, and their strengths and weaknesses vary greatly.

Some people can move objects with a telekinetic ability, some can become temporarily invisible, and some can bring inanimate objects to life...

Without any underlying principle or energy source, it is a purely exceptional case added out of thin air, and even the user himself cannot explain the origin of the ability.

Afterwards, those with superpowers gradually rose above ordinary people, seized control of resources and power, and ultimately dominated the world.

However, due to differences in stance, ambition, interests, and so on, the camp of ability users split, and a long struggle swept the globe, turning ordinary people into bystanders in the chaos, and the world order teetered on the brink of collapse amid the clash of abilities.

In the long struggle, a powerful being with abilities far surpassing all others of his kind rose to prominence, his strength enough to be called a "god".

Because his ability is to steal.

It can strip other people of their special abilities and make them its own, while the person whose abilities are stolen will permanently lose their abilities and become an ordinary person.

With his ability to steal, he practically took control of the entire world.

Afterward, he abandoned the chaotic surface and ascended into the independent dimension he had constructed—the divine kingdom, the inner world, outside of reality, thus achieving the separation between the surface and the inner world.

He considers himself a god, residing at the pinnacle of the divine kingdom, and is the only one who is supreme. He is determined to completely eliminate all capable people in the world except himself.

One being with special abilities is enough; everyone else is a mistake for the world.

As the god who rules the world, he must erase these errors.

The remaining ability users naturally couldn't give up their abilities, so they rallied together and resolved to rebel.

Of course, it was less of a rebellion and more of a desperate struggle for survival.

Because the gap in strength was too great, so great that it was almost hopeless.

A rollback is the only hope for them to survive.

Among the remaining ability users, some possess the ability to rewind time.

When the remaining ability users are wiped out or on the verge of total annihilation in the inner battle, leaving only the rewinder, he will activate the rewind.

The surface reality and the inner world are simultaneously reverted to a fixed anchor point, a seemingly ordinary modern day, which is also the day the revert gained their abilities.

The memories and event trajectories of ordinary people on the surface were completely reset to that moment, and the traces of the inner battlefield were also wiped away, as if the previous battle had never happened.

Only those who revert to a previous state can retain their memories (as currently known).

In addition, each rollback slightly weakens the spirit of the person with the rollback ability.
