Synopsis

Beneath the scar on his left hand, burned by the power of Zero, lies the nightmare Zhan Chi dares not touch. When Zero abducted his elder sister, Mo Yi, the extremely yin rune shining at her neck was identical to the fiery scar in his palm.

The Three Lives Grass of Taoyuan Village crumbled in the medicine grinder, and a phantom image of the Shennong Cauldron flickered and vanished. This boy, regarded by the villagers as a “freak,” revealed an incomplete Xialan mark before the sundial pillar, unaware that black mist had already begun creeping from its base to entwine his shadow. He clashed with Qianjun’s ice blades and danced alongside Chenyue’s golden butterflies. During the Five Elements trial, the struggle between the power of Zero and primordial qi inside him shook loose a fragment of The Lost Secrets of Lu Ban, and even awakened the mechanical wreckage buried deep underground.

Ye Zha’s song of Zero came from the Burial Bone Ridge. Mo Yi’s hidden Zero power became nourishment for Qiongqi, while Pei Zuo’s gears turned, transforming traditional Xialan arts into shackles for iron puppets. When Shen Mi’s self-destruction lit up the sky, and the final words of the Po Zhen triggered the core-of-the-earth mechanism, Zhan Chi finally understood: the so-called Xialan mark was never a birthright. It was the courage of ordinary people, facing despair, to fuse the power of Zero with primordial qi and protect all living beings with their own flesh and blood.

The Three Lives Flower sprouted from the ashes, while blue shoots grew entwined with the blood on Chenyue’s wrist. As the Chaos Flame Dragon burst through the sky, Qianjun’s icy tears extinguished its flames. When interstellar coordinates pierced the firmament and flowers corroded the shell of the mechanical Zero puppets, a new Xialan mark shone in a child’s palm. Within that mark lay the blood of the older generation, the tears of the young, and the undying spark born from the collision of tradition and technology.

This is a story about “how ordinary people become the light.” From the medicinal fragrance of Taoyuan Village to fields of flowers beneath the starry sky, they used their scars as marks and their bonds as blades, standing between Zero and the Xialan
