Qin Shihuang gathered the soldiers of the world and cast twelve golden figures.
History books only go so far. What is not written in the history books is that shortly after the golden statue was cast, the first one began to break into pieces. What was broken was not the copper, but the seal.
Ji Min, a disciple of the Mohist family, discovered the last words left by his father under the Lishan Mountain: The twelve golden people are locks. The locked thing is an extraterrestrial consciousness that comes to this world every thousand years and harvests the lifelong cultivation of all the tribulation monks in the name of "ascension". The so-called fairy world is a scam. The so-called ascension means being eaten.
Jiang Zhi, a member of the Yin and Yang family, can see the "thread of ascension" on everyone. She was ordered to monitor the Golden Man, but she saw her true body in the mirror - she was the "fragment of human nature" actively stripped off by the ancient emperor who refused to ascend thousands of years ago. Her existence is both the key to the seal and the gap in the seal.
Legalist spy Lu Yanzhi was ordered to investigate a disappearance case and was involved in a thousand-year chess game that far exceeded the standards of ordinary people. His adoptive father asked him to bring back the girl and execute the boy. He chose betrayal.
When the twelve golden figures were shattered one after another, the existence that had been sealed for thousands of years opened its eyes. The real bet left by Qin Shihuang is waiting for a descendant who can inherit his legacy deep in the Lishan Mausoleum - he will put the human race's battle flag on the Reaper's starship.
Three generations, a huge gamble. The stakes are the dragon veins of Kyushu, the national fate of Da Qin, and whether a young man can make his own choice under the weight of fate.
