The Dayuan Dynasty was a country founded on Confucianism and Legalism, and the Tianli Yuan monopolized the power to interpret the way of heaven. The higher the realm, the weaker the emotion - the strong will eventually live by cold rules. Qin Shu sneered at this: he was an abandoned son of the sacrificial family, a registered disciple of Luming Academy that everyone could step on, and even being alive was considered a violation. Until that day, the replica crack swallowed half of the street, and everyone was trapped inside. The examiner pronounced him "useless" on the spot, and his classmates waited to see him torn to pieces by the copy monster. Qin Shu stared at the gray entries on the panel and smiled - [Waste], [Sacrificial Bloodline], [Blunted Edge]... These waste words began to twist, rewrite, and merge under his hands. When others used realm to crush him, he used words to turn the tables: graft "passivation" onto the monster and watch it change from rage to numbness; rewrite "sacrifice" as "sacrifice" and let the copy in turn feed himself. The empire preaches that emotions are a drag on the strong, but he insists on upgrading like crazy while carving humane feelings into his bones. Until Tianliyuan discovered that the entry he rewrote contained a secret that frightened all "perfectly strong people" - emotions are not the price, but the loopholes. Tonight, the sacrifices set off the table. He wants those "gods" who have sacrificed their emotions and desires to climb up, kneel down and ask themselves: Is it worth it?
