Ashen Star Chronicles: Ashes as a Lamp, Eternal Night as a Crown

In the Ashen Cosmos, where three layers of star realms intertwine with a river that flows backward through time, the gods use all living beings as kindling, restarting the harvest at the end of every era. In the depths of the Abyssal Vault, the ash-scavenging boy Mu Ran sets out to reclaim his younger sister, chosen as a vessel for the Heavenly Dao. With ash for veins and his lifespan for fuel, he burns through a hundred dynasties and scorches the divine throne. Only when he has burned himself away does he realize that the so-called throne is nothing more than a stairway of ashes beneath his sister's feet, so she never has to kneel again. This is a journey against fate, lighting a lamp with the last embers and seizing the dawn from the eternal night. If there is no fire in the world, then I shall be the fire. If all living beings forget, then I shall be the memory. (This is AI test text.)
