Terror Resurges: It Begins with Summoning Patriarch Bodhi

[Pseudo-System story + one female lead + the source descends + clear character growth (sound logic, not mindless)...]

My name is Jiang Liu. On the day I transmigrated to Red Star, the System informed me that supernatural horror had returned and the whole world was struggling to survive.

On my first day after transmigrating, I summoned Patriarch Bodhi and watched him crush an S-rank vengeful spirit.

I thought I was invincible from the start and could coast all the way to the ending.

Then the team leader was controlled by a corpse infested with insects, the deputy leader gave his life to help me escape, and the entire squad was wiped out overnight. Only then did I realize that bloodshed and sacrifice happened every moment in this world.

Think this is an invincible story where the protagonist summons powerful experts and coasts to victory?

No. This is the story of a man who has lost everything, fighting evil gods in this mortal world alongside six rookies who have yet to learn how to say goodbye.

Warning: intense scenes ahead. The protagonist really will go blind. His teammates really will die. The source really will corrupt people's minds.

But he will not kneel.

Because the lights on Chang'an Street are still shining.

“With a heart that upholds justice, I walk the road against the current; with my own body as a beacon, I light the way for all living beings.”

I will pave the road with white bones to keep the warmth and light of this world burning forever.
