Fuguang, a modern young man, is a graduate student in archeology, specializing in ancient mythology and bronze civilization. During an expedition to the Kunlun Mountains, he discovered a jade stone carved with mysterious patterns deep in a glacier crevice - pumice stone. The whole body of this stone is shimmering and warm to the touch, and its texture is exactly the same as the texture on the inner wall of the bronze coffin of the Three Generations described in Chen Dong's trilogy.
The moment Fu Guang touched the Fountain Stone with his academic curiosity, a fragment of the pure will of a strong man on the sacrificial path that was sealed in the stone awakened - that was when the ancient powerful man stripped off his purest light before self-immolation, hid it in the Fountain Stone, and threw it into the long river of time and space, waiting for a soul with a strong enough heart to inherit it.
