Everyone knows that mountains and seas exist only in ancient legends.
The sacred mountains have long since crumbled, the strange beasts are all extinct, and the gods vanished into the river of time long ago.
Until Ning Gui, a young man from the frontier, entered a forbidden mountain during a sacrifice.
There he saw an ancient stele that should not have existed, a name that should not have been forgotten, and a fragment of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
From that day on, he began to remember everything everyone else had long since forgotten.
The vanished sacred mountains, the sunken four seas, the fallen ancient kingdoms, the countless peoples erased from history… The whole world is quietly losing its past.
And everyone believes none of it ever existed.
When Ning Gui has traveled across the mountains and seas and recovered one forgotten true name after another, he discovers that what truly needs saving has never been any one person or any one race.
It is the world that bears all living things.
If the world can be written by only one person,
then I will take up my sword and rewrite the mountains and seas for all living beings.
Narrative fragments begin to appear from Chapter 11. The first ten chapters mostly use simple dialogue to embody the characters, and do not use too much demeanor, appearance, and psychological description to shape the characters and describe the environment to enhance the atmosphere. It's not really a line drawing technique. The plot direction shown in Chapter 10 is a bit interesting.
There is no cause and effect. I can't understand. Help, my family.
