The Northern Wasteland pressed on the border, the town gate was broken, and the border town only had three days left.
The military craftsman Shen Li was pushed to the guillotine: if he could not repair the sword, the whole battalion would be buried with him.
But when he held the bloody broken sword, he heard the last echoes left by the dead soldiers - the weapon would remember the master's skills, fears and unfulfilled wishes. If you repair it, you can borrow that unique skill; if you fail to fulfill its promise, you will be dragged into madness by it.
At first, Shen Li just wanted the three hundred people around him to survive.
Only later did he discover that the border town's fall every year was not a natural disaster, but someone sacrificing the lives of thousands of miles of border town to support an eternal furnace in the imperial capital.
Since the old dynasty relied on people as salary, he gathered hundreds of workers from all over the world to build another human world.
