Zhenxu Ji

The gods are dead, and the mountains and rivers are monuments. In ancient times, the four saints guarded the four directions, and the twelve earth spirits patrolled the world. When the Ruin - a mass of nothingness condensed by the forgetfulness and despair of all living beings - attempts to erase all emotions and differences in the world, the guardians launch a final battle. The price of victory is themselves. Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu, together with the twelve earth spirits, injected their remaining divine power and will into the broken earth, and their bodies turned into majestic mountains, guarding here forever. The world survived, but it entered an era in which gods died and memories faded. Thousands of years later, the guardianship has become a legend. Young Lin Xi, an orphan who can inexplicably hear the whispers of the mountains, is forced to travel together with his eldest brother Yue Zhen, who is as strong as a rock, and Yan Huan, a free and uninhibited traveler. They originally only wanted to investigate the "amnesia" spreading in the village-the villagers lived like puppets and lost all joy and anger. However, they have touched an ancient seal. A dim lying shadow appears in the sky, and the mountains and rivers begin to synchronize their heartbeats. A cold and gentle force is trying to smooth out all the colors, sounds, and emotions in the world. They discovered that the real enemy is not demons, but the "emptiness" that comes from the hearts of all living beings; the strongest power is not fairy magic, but the "memories" and "obsessions" that mortals never forget. What was before them was the whisper of Anxu: "Give up. Forget all pain and return to eternal tranquility." And, buried deep in the bones of mountains and rivers, the last oaths of the ancient guardians: "This body can turn into rocks, and this heart can protect the world forever." This is a battle without swords and swords
