Embers of Heaven

In Qingyun City in the Northern Wilderness, all living beings are born and their souls return to the Milky Way after death. Only Ye Chen lived for seventeen years, but during the pulse determination ceremony, he was judged as having no status according to the stele. Fifteen days later, he will be expelled from the Ye family, lose his identity, and will not even be able to pass through the city gate. It happened that on this day, the Beishan Mine collapsed. Thirty-seven corpses were transported out of the mine, but not one of them left a soul. The life and death of nineteen miners were unknown, but the city government announced that only nine people were killed and sealed off the mine overnight. While guarding the corpse, the black stove that Ye Chen had worn for seventeen years woke up for the first time. He could see the unfulfilled obsessions of the deceased and hear the last wishes buried in darkness. As long as you fulfill the last wish of the deceased, you may get a wisp of voluntarily left embers. But Blackforge never gives away its power in vain. After the embers are exhausted, continue to ignite the soul fire, and what will be burned will be Ye Chen's own memory. Once you take action, you may forget the taste of a meal; next time, you may forget the face of an old friend, or even forget why you are fighting. In order to rescue the people who were still breathing in the mine, Ye Chen stepped into the deep well that was judged by everyone to have "no more survivors", only to find that the mining disaster was just the tip of the iceberg. The sect used souls to forge weapons, the imperial clan used souls to extend their lives, and the almighty Tianxu allowed all beings in the world to pay soul taxes with their memories and the afterlife. If the so-called peace requires someone's name to be erased; if the so-called heaven only allows sentient beings to become fuel - then this heaven should be burned again. What he wanted to be was never the master of controlling all souls. But let every soul be its own master.
