Nameless Debt

The world survives on debt. The Seven Saints wiped out the Eighth Saint as a debt anchor in exchange for a debt-free covenant. The debt has never been repaid, doubling with each successive epoch, and has an ember period of less than two hundred years. Shi Zhi was an abandoned baby picked up from the edge of the Ashfield by the Nameless Ones. He held an old lamp that couldn't be lit, and it burned without producing ashes - which he thought was a gift. Until when rescuing people, the rescued person was dislocated and turned into an echo. He forced to find out the truth: the ashes were passed on to the famous people around him. The stronger he gets, the faster those around him die. He exploited loopholes to survive, was hunted, entered the Remnant Realm and the City of Reflection, and came into contact with the truth - he was the remnant of the Eighth Saint, and the Seven Saints murdered him as collateral, creating a world destined to collapse. And after three hundred years of embarrassment, the Reckoner cried low, and all the enemies were waiting for his decision. The final choice is not to save the world or save yourself - but to become a living contract, allowing the denied to be named, and to find the fourth answer without sacrificing anyone.
