On the day Banxian Library was demolished, Shen Yan pulled out a burnt page of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" from the wall left behind by his grandfather.
After just one glance, the scriptures wormed their way into his flesh and blood.
From then on, Zhu Yu can make people forget their hunger, and can squeeze living people into empty shells; Migu can take people home, but also drag the entire city into the deepest obsession; the bestows extreme speed, but has to use people's past and life span to repay it.
Capital wants to turn foreign objects from the mountains and seas into commodities, and the Anomaly Bureau wants to seal everything away, but Shen Yan is just the most precious "living sample" in their eyes. Every time the warp pattern is used, the text grows an inch deeper into his muscles and bones. If he wants to survive, he can only seize resources, refine mountains and seas, and regain control of his body.
But when his grandfather's old case, the secrets of Banxian Library and the Zhaoyaoshan Seal all surfaced at the same time, Shen Yan discovered that it was never just the ancient scriptures that really needed to be corrected -
It is a world that puts a price on human life and packages desires into salvation.
