Background / History

The original owner of Su Yuan’s body found the Grey Mirror discarded by the roadside near an antique street and left it gathering dust in his dormitory. After Zhao Xixi deleted his contact information, the owner questioned the mirror and received an answer explaining that she had left because he had no money remaining. Repeated questioning exposed her exploitation of him, and the resulting emotional shock contributed to his death from an untreated heart condition. 1

After transmigrating into the body, Su Yuan tested the mirror by asking how to cure the inherited heart disease. It supplied a daily exercise routine that eased his condition and could completely cure it after three months of practice. This established the mirror as the foundation of Su Yuan’s survival and subsequent rise. 1

Su Yuan initially used it as an external object, carrying it closely and consulting it in secluded places. Once he became a Level 1 lifeform, he refined it into his sea of consciousness, enabling instantaneous internal questioning and making the mirror secure from theft or exposure. 15 31 32

Its deeper nature remained inaccessible until Su Yuan became a Chaotic Lifeform. The mirror then revealed that its familiar shape had only been one of countless manifestations; its true essence was a fragment-like core portion of the Supreme Rule of Time. 282

Appearance

Before refinement, the Grey Mirror appears mundane and unremarkable despite its importance. When responding, its surface becomes hazy or ripples, then displays text.

• Gray in color and initially small enough for Su Yuan to carry on his person. 1 15
• Appeared to be an abandoned antique-street object before its abilities were discovered. 1
• After refinement, it floats at the center of Su Yuan’s sea of consciousness. 32
• After Su Yuan’s Ultimate Leap, its true form manifests as fragment-like light rather than a physical mirror. 282

Abilities & Functions

Omniscient Inquiry

The Grey Mirror answers questions concerning past events, present conditions, future developments, people, locations, resources, and cultivation paths. Its omniscience derives from its connection to the Supreme Rule of Time: by grasping past and future, it grasps fate. 2 282

• Identified Zhao Xixi’s motive for cutting contact with the original owner. 1
• Provided Su Yuan with methods to cure his heart condition and pursue life evolution. 1 2
• Located lost property, buried treasures, rare medicines, and concealed organizations. 3 4 29 86
• Revealed the origins, histories, and risks of objects such as the Eternal Darkness Stone. 86
• Supplied information on civilizations, lifeforms, imperial systems, and hidden cosmic events. 2 95 202

Future Prediction and Conditional Planning

The mirror can forecast consequences and identify the safest or most suitable course of action under stated conditions.

• Its answers adapt to Su Yuan’s actions: lottery numbers changed because buying the suggested ticket altered the outcome itself. 2 3
• Recommendations differ according to Su Yuan’s current strength, because a resource unsafe at one stage may become safe later. 16
• It predicts witnesses, public reactions, technological progress, and the consequences of Su Yuan’s movements. 93 98
• Su Yuan routinely abandons plans if the mirror identifies hidden danger or an unacceptable variable. 31 249

Cultivation Guidance

The Grey Mirror designs cultivation plans suited specifically to Su Yuan’s six-dimensional path of physical body, soul, will, wisdom, comprehension, and potential. 7 16

• Created a fifteen-session plan for Su Yuan’s advancement to Level 1, including required resources and acupuncture procedures. 7
• Identified the flaws, risks, and safety limits of cultivation methods such as the Star Contemplation Method. 41
• Provides precise body data, including life level, cosmic-power comprehension, techniques, and combat bonus. 92 93 120 132
• Identifies opportunities for sudden enlightenment before they occur, allowing Su Yuan to exploit conditions other cultivators would miss. 97
• Guided Su Yuan toward the Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method, the Chaotic Divine Body, and a path to Chaotic Lifeform with immense potential. 16 193 281

Combat Prediction

By revealing opponents’ actions in advance, the Grey Mirror enables Su Yuan to defend against attacks beyond what his direct combat experience would otherwise permit.

• Predicts attack timing, direction, and placement during battle. 116
• Allows Su Yuan to counter or evade dangers through prior planning rather than improvisation. 31 116
• Provides suitable combat techniques, sacred arts, and methods for learning cosmic powers. 84 173 195

Strategic Guidance

The mirror acts as the core intelligence behind Su Yuan’s long-term plans, from acquiring initial wealth to confronting the Truth Society and preparing Blue Star for extraterrestrial threats.

• Supplied low-risk methods to acquire money, including returning Wangcai for a one-million-yuan reward and purchasing a hidden Tang-dynasty gold Buddha. 3
• Helped Su Yuan conceal operations, manipulate factional expectations, and avoid drawing intervention from major powers. 22 50
• Advised him to establish a faction and use Qiao Mingyuan’s expertise to create a global communications channel. 34
• Provided methods for clearing the Ten Thousand Layer Labyrinth at exceptional speed. 113 161 181
• Guided Su Yuan’s investments in exploration teams, allowing repeated profitable expeditions into unknown star domains. 169

Temporal Visions

After Su Yuan becomes a Chaotic Lifeform, the mirror can convey information through direct visions rather than written responses.

• Can draw Su Yuan into a scene from a specific period to let him observe the answer firsthand. 282
• Can reproduce scenes and techniques, such as the practice of the Origin Spear Technique. 295
• Reveals changes in a person’s fate when time-related circumstances are altered. 312

Limitations

• Early answers are displayed as text and can be extremely extensive; one broad cultivation inquiry continued for two hours until Su Yuan stopped it. 2
• Recommendations are conditional upon Su Yuan’s stated restrictions, current capabilities, and intended actions. 3 16
• Information concerning forbidden secrets or inconceivable beings can create causal links if Su Yuan learns or contemplates it too deeply. 176 208
• Before Su Yuan’s ascension, the mirror’s true utility remained sealed behind the requirement of becoming a Chaotic Lifeform. 282
• Fully refining its true form requires Su Yuan to comprehend the eighty-percent portion of the Supreme Rule of Time that remains active in the outside world. 282

Relationships

• Su Yuan — Owner and sole known user. The mirror saves him from his inherited heart condition, guides his cultivation and plans, and is eventually refined into his sea of consciousness. 1 32
• Qiao Mingyuan — Indirect beneficiary of the mirror’s knowledge; Su Yuan uses its precise needle-placement guidance to alter Qiao Mingyuan’s appearance and help him evade pursuit. 36
• Xiao Lan — Works alongside Su Yuan’s artificial intelligence in his wider information and strategic network; the Grey Mirror supplies knowledge that Xiao Lan can operationalize. 50 93
