My name is Zhang Yanhang, and I have a slight difficulty making choices. I am a regular Awakener and a part-time university student, living a monotonous life composed of the same routine every day: attend school, cultivate, and return home. I neither smoke nor drink, and my only hobby is observing human beings during a Time Pause.

As a university student with a job, I thought my life would remain calm and ordinary until graduation, followed by finding a job, getting married, having children, and perhaps even having a second child in my middle age. Although ordinary, such a life seemed reasonable.

However, what I never anticipated was that about six months ago, the Empire suddenly announced that the world was once again experiencing a Spiritual Qi Recovery. Yes, it was not the first time, and although I do not know when the previous recovery occurred, from the Empire's statement, I could understand clearly that the recovery of Spiritual Qi seems to be a repetitive cyclic movement.
