In March of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng came to Beijing with troops.
The desperate Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian wanted to die for his country. Eunuch Wang Chengen presented the mysterious "Seven-orificed Glazed Box", saying that it was a treasure left by missionary Tang Ruowang to save the country and needed to be activated by the jade seal.
Chongzhen opened the treasure box with a jade seal, and seven strange lights turned into seven suspended memorials. When the first "Prince of the Southern Ming Dynasty" memorial was opened, the Qianqing Palace was instantly flooded by the illusion of a sea of blood. The tragic scene of the Qing army massacre and the prince's cry for help pierced his mind! Cold reminder: sealing the jade seal can save the prince, but the price is the collapse of three sections of the Beijing city wall. In order to save the "son", Chongzhen sealed it, and the city wall collapsed!
The glass box is a high-dimensional "civilization filter"! Every time a memorial is opened, the horror disaster corresponding to the parallel universe (zombie plague, frozen corpses in glaciers, earth-shattering magma, monsters and cannibals) will be projected onto reality! To provide assistance with the Jade Seal, you need to extract "equivalent resources" from this time and space - food, army, and even life span and human life! Chongzhen was forced to become a ruthless "resource allocator".
The two factions, those who destroy the box to protect the country and those who are desperate, fight. Chongzhen obtained terrifying power: it can be used to force extraction of "resources"!
On the verge of death, Wang Chengen confessed that he came from the "Wu Sangui Universe" that was frozen to extinction due to Chongzhen's early death, and that he traveled through time just to repay his kindness and change his life! The seventh memorial comes from a historian in the 22nd century: if the seal is sealed, the Ming Dynasty will be annihilated and history will be preserved; if it is refused, Chongzhen will have to kill himself to seal all disasters.
Chongzhen raised the jade seal high and smashed it against the glass box! The jade seal shattered and the box light exploded! Chongzhen threw up the white silk. Before his consciousness dissipated, he saw the torrent of seven disasters being sealed into the growth rings of the locust tree, and his soul was floating, witnessing the vicissitudes of China for three hundred years. When the Ming Dynasty died, sacrifices and choices became eternity in the void.
