The Gods Forbid the Old Gods from Returning

Miner Lin Ye dug up something that should never have existed: the remains of a god.

Gray cracks began to spread across the back of his right hand as the power of the Old Gods awakened in his veins.

But the gods were returning. Xuanxiao, Wanxu, one after another, they began to revive, and the contamination seeping out of the old mine swallowed the entire city.

He had stopped it once before. He failed.

For his final attempt, he fused seven fragments of the Keystone, sacrificing the seven emotions and six desires to become the seal that bound the God King.

He belonged to no pantheon. He was a nail driven by humanity itself into the rules of the gods.

He won.

The price was that he could no longer feel love or hate.

But he still remembered one thing:

A miner's work isn't done until it's finished. You can't stop.
