In 2060, humanity is sunk in an AI-powered age of effortless comfort. Its spirit has withered completely, leaving behind a fragile civilization with no fight in its blood.
Everyone is lying flat in comfort, unaware that the asteroid catastrophe of 2075 and the apocalypse of spiritual energy will ultimately destroy all of humanity.
Two cycles of reincarnation, two civilizations wiped out.
Lu Chenzhou bears the weight of mountains of corpses from ages past and a shattered soul. With one final chance to save the world, he assembles a team of seven ordinary people and enters the redemption instance, Tracing the History of the Land.
The rules are cold and cruel.
Do not alter recorded history. Do not save the fallen heroes. Do not make up for past regrets.
Only by enduring pain in their own flesh, experiencing suffering firsthand, and sacrificing themselves as ordinary people can they restore the spirit of civilization from the brink of collapse and reverse a century of genetic decline in humanity.
They retrace the blood-soaked road from 1927 to 1953.
They witness the agonizing choices made in desperate struggles, and endure the boundless hell of the Nanchang uprising, the bloodshed along the Xiang River, and the frozen corpses of Changjin.
None of them has a cheat or a halo. They feel pain and fear, break down, and suffer grievous injuries. In the end, history erases every stand they make, leaving only endless futility.
Back in the present, the entire internet mocks and curses them without end.
Academics accuse them of chasing hype, capital spreads rumors that it is all scripted, and the public sneers at them for selling suffering.
But the real scenes of artillery tearing through bodies and blood and tears soaking the land will eventually shatter the numbness of the masses.
From ridicule across the internet to a nation's reverence, from spiritual decay to the rebirth of fighting spirit.
The seven offer their shattered souls as a sacrifice, and give their ordinary lives for generations of peace and prosperity.
After three cycles of reincarnation and crossing a sea of flames and smoke, their wholehearted devotion finally ensures that Huaxia will endure!
