“Teacher, I'm only low-grade common stock. Can I really make it out of the ruins alive?”
“You can. If the sky falls, your teacher will hold it up for you this once.”
In this high-martial world, where strength rules and the weak are prey to the strong,
Orphan Lu Zheng only wants to graduate and stay alive at the bottom.
Until he sees that timid, balding homeroom teacher take the final blow for him;
Until the tomb guardians, who faced death without hesitation, use their battered bodies to build him one last path to survival.
They tell Lu Zheng that once the Human Emperor awakens, his fallen compatriots can finally be brought back to life.
But only when Lu Zheng reaches the very pinnacle does he learn... it was just a lie the martyrs told themselves.
“There is no such thing as coming back from the dead.”
“They simply left the only way to survive to me.”
If the gods mean to reap humanity's last spark,
then this time, I will become the kindling and set the world ablaze in a storm that burns the gods!
There is no road ahead, and all my compatriots stand behind me. This strike, I wield for humanity!
