đ Chapter 12: Origin Rewritten
đȘ Earth â Forgotten Timeline Hub
Qian Tian stood in his childhood room, holding the key to his own Origin Vaultâthe place where his story first began, before he ever awakened his System, before Spirit Hall, before the Vault, before even Reverend Insanity.
The air shimmered.
"Accessing Primordial Thread: Origin-0000-T."
"Warning: Thread is linked to Unwritten Realms and Suppressed Memories."
He turned the key.
The wall cracked like an old CRT screen glitching. Behind it, not a room, but a void of code, words, and forgotten dreams.
đ§ Origin Vault: Core Memory Room
A hologram flickered to life: a 17-year-old Qian Tianâordinary, weak, cynical. Sitting in front of his screen, writing fanfiction about gods, systems, and power.
"Why does the protagonist always win? What if someone started perfect?"
"What if they were born strong, but still feared the one above them?"
This version of him never left Earth. He never gained a system.
But he imagined it. Every cheat. Every world. Every loyalty mechanic. Every power scale.
He created the System in fiction.

đïž Celestial System Layer â Code of All Systems
As Qian Tian exited the Origin Vault, the System interface morphed, now bowing slightly to him.
"Welcome, Creator. You may now overwrite sub-systems, disable hostile ones, and trace parallel protagonists."

đ Douluo Continent â Spirit Beast Domain Rupture
Simultaneously, a crack split across Star Dou Forest.
From deep beneath the sealed leyline, a divine beast clawed through timeâa creature whose name had been erased from history.
True Spirit Beast: Epoch Devourer â Zhu Long
†Timeline Predator
†Immune to Plot Anchors
†Devours System Holders to maintain universal balance
†Target Lock: Qian Tian
Renxue and Yuehua fought to hold the tear in space, their divine spirits flickering under pressure.
Renxue's phoenix cried out, golden feathers turning translucent.
"Brother! Something's coming⊠it's eating the futureâ"
đŒ Elsewhere â White Void Studio (The Author's Realm)
The Architect sat before an infinite keyboard. Each key was a trope, a cliché, a world logic.
He typed:
"Introduce Chaos.
Timeline Fracture.
Author War: Initiate."
The skies of every known world turned grey.
NPCs looked up, suddenly aware.
The fourth wall shimmered.
"Let them remember⊠they are written."
đŻïž Qian Tian's New Interface
He stood alone in a blank worldâhis thoughts quiet.
Then, the new system voice whispered:
World Merge Protocol Active.
†Warning: The boundaries between fiction and reality are breaking.
†Systems are becoming aware.
†Other reincarnators have noticed your elevation.
†Expect confrontations. Expect betrayals. Expect⊠authors.
Final prompt:
"Do you wish to write your next rewrite now, or wait for convergence?"
Qian Tian closed his eyes.
"I'll wait. I want to see what the others write when they realize they're not alone."
