Synopsis

Shenhe City relies on Heihe River to survive, and it also relies on Heihe River to eat people. There is a big sacrifice every three years and a small sacrifice every year. People in the city say that this is to honor the river god, control flood disasters and protect the people. Wang Shuo does not believe in God, he only believes in his own bad life and his sister at home who has not yet grown up. But when the night of offering sacrifices to the river came, my sister Wang Xiaohe was still written into the offering book. In order to save his sister, he rushed to the altar, sacrificed his blood and bones, and heard the true name of the strange beast at the bottom of the river. At that moment, Heihe rolled his eyes, the old sacrifice pit opened its mouth, and all the lies in Shenhe City that took advantage of the poor people's lives began to loosen. Also arriving at the same night was the goddess Ji Qingwu who was patrolling the town on the orders of the royal court. She struck down the river with her sword, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she identified Wang Shuo as the one who caused the disaster. But as she was chased, fell into the river, formed a contract, and fought together, she gradually realized that the way she had practiced for many years to suppress the beasts was not the way to protect the people at all. The so-called goddess is not the daughter of destiny, but a humanoid sacrificial vessel selected to be fed to the exotic beasts that protect the country. Starting from Shenhe City, a young man recognized by Shanhai, a goddess who was supposed to be aloof, was forced to live together. He knows the true name, can break false contracts, open sacrificial books, cut off roads, and seize the rights of animals. With her palms, she can suppress evil spirits, cut off national orders, and attack the royal court. But their enemy is never just a strange beast, but an entire world order maintained by humans raising beasts. After Shenhe is Duanchao Station, after Duanchao is Baideng Waigou, and further in Waigou, there is the gray name system of the royal capital that treats people as goods, wrong accounts, and sick people. Along the way, Wang Shuo rescued his sister, investigated his father's case, and settled old scores. Along the way, he also understood why he and Ji Qingwu were both targeted by the world. Because the royal court regarded them as sacrificial vessels. But Shanhai recognized them first.

Reader comments

Hello everyone, I am Shanhai Jiren, the author of this book. The moment I started writing about the Black River Festival in Shenhe City, I didn't want to write it into a streamlined upgrading novel. What I want to tell is never a cliché story about a young man who pushed his way to the top of the immortal world, but the fateful path of two people who were sacrificed by the times and tore apart the cannibalistic order of the entire dynasty. At first, Wang Shuo was just an ordinary person who wanted to protect his sister. There was no adventure from the sky. His power came from understanding the true names of the alien beasts and seeing through the lies of sacrifice. Ji Qingwu carried the glory of the goddess, but finally found that he was just a human sacrificial vessel raised by the royal power. The two went from being in opposition to chasing each other to being forced to live together. There was no forced love entanglement, but more about the mutual support and two-way redemption of two sober people in troubled times. The whole story is rooted in the national customs of mountains and seas, including black rivers, ancient altars, and dormant strange beasts. I deliberately weakened the rampant cultivation hierarchy system and took machinations, sacrifices of human lives, and the collapse of the old order as the core context. From the human sacrifice pits in Shenhe City, to the layers of calculations at Duanchao Station, to the gray name system in which the royal capital treats people as account books, I wanted to use the shell of fantasy to write about the struggles of low-level people under the rules of power and the lonely courage to fight against the injustice of the world. I know that the pace of this book is slow in the early stages, the fighting scenes are not intensive, and some of the foreshadowings require the reader's patience to read. It is not a fast-food online novel that pursues instant pleasure. But I always insist on not writing mindless tricks or engaging in harem drama. I strive to have foreshadowing for every reversal and for every character growth to be logical. Thank you very much to the readers who have followed the updates all the way. I read every comment you make carefully. If you prefer Eastern fantasy with a sense of atmosphere, core, and anti-routine, and are willing to sink your heart into feeling the fate and resistance in the chaotic world of mountains and seas, I look forward to you entering "The Goddess and I Rule the Mountains and Seas" and join Wang Shuo and Ji Qingwu to break the old order of sacrifice for thousands of years.
