Thousands of years of blood and tears are just a play in the eyes of a foreign race.
Since the bloody meteor tore through the sky in the first year of the Christian era, and the "gods" from outside the world came to the earth, bringing the so-called "god-given skills" and "god-given secrets", the human race once thought that they had ushered in a golden age of blessings from the gods. For a hundred years, these guests from across the star sea were worshiped as the saviors of the world. Temples were built and incense was incessant.
Until the winter solstice in AD 100, millions of demonic armies flooded the land of Kyushu like a tide. Blood dyed the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers red, and corpses piled up into mountains. That year, the human race was shocked to realize that they were just captive Gu insects, and that the earth was just a "testing ground" chosen by the demons from the outside world. Every three years, there must be a bloody baptism, just like the regularly harvested crops, no more, no less, just to suppress the human race on the verge of collapse but never extinction.
Thousands of years have passed. Science and technology are changing with each passing day, martial arts are developing vigorously, and there are sword masters who can split mountains and cut off rivers, stick kings who can wipe out thousands of armies with sticks, and gun gods who can shoot spears like dragons. Only the sword seems to be imprisoned by invisible shackles - for thousands of years, no one has been able to break through the innate realm. A wise man lamented: "The devil has cut off my fortune in swordsmanship and cut off my path to becoming a swordsman!"
Autumn, 2025.
In the class of Class 7, Senior Grade 3, Nancheng No. 3 Middle School, a young man suddenly woke up from his desk, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
On the podium, the history teacher was describing the "Jinling Bloody Battle" three hundred years ago: "... In this battle, twelve innate strong men of our human race died in the battle, and Mu Baiyu, the last innate sword cultivator, burned out his sword soul on the top of Purple Mountain.
