Dasheng has the law:
Only when one's name is entered into the register does one become a person.
Those without status were not allowed to enter the coffin, were not allowed to receive sacrifices, and were not even counted as dead.
Yan Wujiu, a small official in Guiyan County, has a monthly salary of 800. He is greedy for money but cherishes his life. His biggest wish in life is to investigate fewer murder cases and live a few more years. Don't let Miss Lu at the coffin shop measure the size in advance.
Until a body was fished out of Baishui River.
He knew the deceased.
But the county government does not have his household registration, the shrine does not have his soul lamp, and no one in the city remembers him. Even the mother of the deceased is gradually forgetting that she ever gave birth to a son.
Only Yan Wujiu still remembers——
The man owed him twenty-seven cents.
In order to recover the debt of the dead person, he checked into the county government, broke into the shrine, and finally found half of the characters on the dead body that should not be used to record people:
Sacrifice.
Only then did he realize that the gods never controlled more than just names.
In the Tianxu Book, some people are subjects, some are believers, some are slaves, and some people are just sacrifices from birth.
What is even more frightening is that the true ancestral land of the human race, its fractured history, and the ancestors who once raised armies to the gods have long been deleted from the world.
When names can be erased, memories can be tampered with, and history can be rewritten by gods——
What does a person rely on to prove that he has lived?
Yan Wujiu picked up the unnamed black stele.
Starting from a nameless corpse, he wants to leave a name for the dead, bear witness for the living, and find the lost world for this human race that has been tamed by the gods for twelve thousand years.
This time, he didn't ask for a name from the gods.
He wants to make the world a witness for all sentient beings.
