I Light a Lamp at the End of Time

In a silent, lifeless world known as the Ruins, everything has turned to dust, and only “soulfire” remains unextinguished. Mortals who kindle their soulfire can embark on the path of cultivation and become “Flamebearers.” Born with a dim soulfire, the young Lin Chang Geng is dismissed as a useless nobody and scrapes by in a forgotten corner of his clan. After an accident leads him into a forbidden place, he discovers an ancient bronze lamp capable of absorbing the soulfire that escapes from the dead. From that moment on, he sets out on a path of devouring soulfire and defying fate. But he gradually discovers that behind the lamp lies the ultimate secret of the world’s descent into lifelessness, and that he is merely the spark chosen across the river of time to kindle the end.
