The 1,201st cycle begins
Wang Yuan, a transfer student at Shushan Academy, has worn a silver chain since childhood. On the night of the blood moon, it suddenly snaps, and a keyhole-shaped birthmark appears over his heart. At the same time, strange events begin to unfold on campus:
- A phantom bronze door beneath the library
- Classmates whose skin turns bronze in the moonlight
- A broadcast repeatedly playing a dying message from six hundred years ago
He soon discovers that the “ordinary people” around him are anything but:
- Student council president Qin You, whose glasses conceal a reflection of mountains and rivers [Map of Mountains and Rivers]
- Xinghe of the astronomy club, with a silver river of stardust flowing through her hair [Heavenly River Fall]
- Yan Xiaoqi, a delinquent whose chain tattoos can devour living things [Taotie Devours]
As the blood moon rises in full, forgotten truths gradually come to light
They were once the last master and disciples of the Xinglan Sect. Now:
- Wang Yuan is the only “key” to the bronze door
- Xinghe harbors a fragment of the Heavenly Dao's soul
- The curse of Eternal Day sleeps within Yan Xiaoqi
- The last tear shed before Xinglan's heart was gouged out is sealed inside Qin You's coin
This time, they must make a choice:
- Let the blood moon devour the present world and begin the 1,202nd cycle?
- Or offer themselves as sacrifices and put an end to the curse of Guixu for good?
The blood moon countdown has begun
In this final cycle, they will either become gods or descend into madness!
