    Reader note

    The moment Chu Ye, a history student, touched his ancestral bronze compass, a crack in his understanding quietly opened. Reflected fingerprints grew in the mirror, cinnabar blood curses seeped from the beams of the old house, and nine bronze coffins at the bottom of the Yellow River resonated with the evil chapters of the *Water Dragon Scripture*—beneath the tranquil surface of the Chinese land slumbered not gods, but a cosmic cancer known as the "Ancient Gods." The surviving scrolls of the Keeper burned in blood and fire: the Imperial Observatory's talisman drones scanned the distorted space, the Mohist disciple used a lightning-struck jujube wood pipe to repel the corpse puppets, and the whispers of inhuman beings came from beneath the mask of a Nuo opera girl. Meanwhile, the bronze cauldron patterns spreading across the back of Chu Ye's neck were scorching his reason; each "synesthesia" was devouring his memories: he saw the writhing flesh and blood array beneath the steps of the Imperial Concubine's Rainbow Robe Dance, heard the sound of the Candle Yin Breath gnawing at time in the Kunlun Ice Cave, and was even more terrified by the awakening of the Soul-Devouring Demon deep within his bloodline—that hunger originating from the Void yearned to devour the stars. When the Nine Cauldrons Seal collapses, the boundary between reality and madness completely dissolves. Blood-red characters on cheongsams wander amidst the city's neon lights, movable type monuments reconstruct blasphemous history, and deep within the Yellow River's whirlpool, a colossal bronze gate, enveloped by billions of pupils, slowly opens. The Old Ones? No, something far more ancient—the ultimate terror sealed in blood by our ancestors, belonging to us all. He chuckles behind the gate, and with every breath you take, you awaken Him.
