When the Creator declared, "You are merely experiment number Ω-9527," Jin Yuanbao carved his reply with the Primordial Chaos Heavenly Sword: "Life will find its own way."
What is eternity?
The seven forbidden lands are both tombstones and monuments. The laboratory crumbled into stardust, while the sword's song continues to echo through the bloodline of civilization.
Seven generations of sword-bearers, seven supremely romantic ways to die. Some became a forest of swords, some burned their blood as lamps, and some shattered their bones to form monuments. When Jin Yuanbao inherited all their memories, it felt as if three hundred years of starlight were burning in his palm.
The Five Elements Continent: A fantastical world founded on the powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Its five great empires reflect the principles of Heaven, and the Kingdom of Metal reigns supreme through its sword-forging craft.
The Heavenly Sword system: A god-slaying weapon forged from the extraterrestrial meteorite Xumi Gold. It can be awakened only when its wielder offers their bloodline as a sacrifice. Each summoning creates a forbidden land with its own distinct attributes, serving both as a protective barrier and as the shackles of a seal.
The laboratory conspiracy: A Creator civilization spanning the stars regards the Five Elements Continent as a breeding ground. The sacrifices of seven generations of sword-bearers, the truth behind the forbidden lands, and the rampage of Xumi Gold are all part of a civilization experiment controlled by the laboratory.
