Shen Qingzheng, a scholar from a poor family, stepped into Bianjing and just wanted to fulfill his father's last wish. But the first sound he heard was the wailing that had been suppressed for three hundred years underground: "The monument is going to crack."
Overnight, he was forced to face the cruel truth of the world: this world was actually a "garbage dump" abandoned by the upper world, and the depletion of spiritual energy was a designed death procedure. The inconspicuous piece of jade in his arms turned out to be one of the keys to the ancient "Five Tones Suppressing Evil Formation". The remaining fragments are being collected by various forces. The day when the five jade are reunited is the time to make a decision about the life or death of civilization.
Facing the countdown to doomsday, four idealists took a different path:
Shen Qingzheng tried to open up the "third way" - to exchange for the continuation of civilization through moderate reform; his mirror image Yan Wuhen believed in radical revolution - "to sacrifice 80% in exchange for ten thousand years of new life"; conservatives advocated obedience to destiny; nihilists believed that everything was meaningless.
When ideals collide with the flesh and blood of reality, when benevolence encounters cold calculations, how will Shen Qingzheng sound the "voice of peace" that transcends destruction and rebirth? This is not only the peak duel of musical martial arts, but also a tragic epic of human nature looking for a way out in desperate situations.
Purpose: Against "sacrifice" and "utilitarian calculation"
