Old Six

In the 27th year of King Zhao of Qin, Sima Cuo led his troops to capture Qianzhong County. He hid a battalion of craftsmen under his command and was ordered to use the ancient tomb as a nail to seal the words of the underground creatures. Diyan is the consciousness of the earth originating from ancient times. It contains the eternal memory of the entire land. It gradually wakes up after sleeping for a billion years. The unconscious body movements frequently cause landslides, plagues, and floods, causing disasters to the people. The people of Qin were afraid of its destructive power and planned to dismember Diyan into twelve parts and imprison them in twelve huge tombs. They would sacrifice living people every sixty years and imprison them forever. The leader of the craftsmen, Chen Liang, was constrained by the safety of his tribe and was forced to take charge of the construction of the cross-world seal project. He secretly left behind a back-up, hiding the miasma mother in the mechanism that could kill Jiyan. This plan to break the situation would take thirty-six generations of people to gather their strength before it could be accomplished. In order to hold on to the seal and wait for the end, generations of the Chen family have been burdened with a fate: every sixty years, one member of the family must be buried in the grave and turned into a nail soul to provide for the tomb nails. For two thousand years, descendants of the Chen family have sacrificed their lives one after another. In the sacrifice of generations, they have silently waited for the opportunity to completely end the predicament of Diyan... This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
