Shen Lian is dead, but his corpse has gone on a killing spree.
[Weirdness revival + hints of cosmic horror + apocalyptic continent + an utterly calm yet deranged male lead + a touch of ensemble cast]
A hundred years ago, the calamity Green Star opened its eyes, reducing ten billion people to ashes overnight.
A hundred years later, humanity huddles beneath twelve domes, igniting their life stars with the power of the stars to fight the endless ghosts and monsters pouring out of the forbidden zones.
Shen Lian is merely the most insignificant night-shift cremator beneath the Thunder Dome.
Until one late night, he pushes his own corpse into the cremator with his own hands
His life star awakens: Sequence, the Weird Path, Hundred Schools, Mortician.
Only then does he discover:
Every time he dies, his body is taken over by a “predecessor”;
His life star is a tomb, inscribed with the names of all his predecessors;
And unless he completes his mission within three months, he will become the next “predecessor”
a madman who knows only how to slaughter.
Shen Lian tightens his grip on the embers and looks toward the ashen life star.
“I’ve seen countless futures in the mirror, and I’ve already found the one who defeats you.”
“If we’re all going to die anyway, I choose to ascend to my life star and make the gods die with me.”
