Global Mute: My Words Can Kill Gods

A bronze bell rings. Writing vanishes, and human civilization collapses overnight. The world regresses into a strange wasteland shrouded in the "Blue Mist." Anyone who tries to write or speak by force undergoes indescribable mutations. Chen Mo was an ordinary night-market stallholder who haunted secondhand markets and made a living selling fake antiques, but after the cataclysm, he discovers that he is the only person who can see and read the "writing of the old world."

He discovers that every Chinese character contains the power of laws that connect Heaven and Earth: the character for "fire" can burn the sky, "water" can submerge the sea, and "suppress" can seal away ten thousand demons. While people can only cling to life under the lamplight of blind monks, Chen Mo holds a Xinhua Dictionary he picked up from a street stall. In this era, it is called the Wordless Heavenly Book. With "true words" as his blade, he contains out-of-control word spirits and battles ancient evils that seek to erase human reason. He fights his way from the ruins on the outskirts to the ruins of Chang'an, uncovers the truth behind the bronze bell and the blind monks, and ultimately rekindles the sacred flame of human civilization through the power to make his words become law.
