The sky cracked.
It's not the monsters from outside the world, it's the world itself that fell apart after people's hearts were torn apart.
The five city-states govern their own affairs and regard mutual restraint as the law of survival. If the spiritual veins break, Yuanzhou will become a dead zone within a hundred days.
But they were in a hurry, not to save the world.
They were just driven here by their own obsessions and fears. In the ashes and erosion, they bumped into each other's hearts that were slowly decaying.
When people's hearts are eroded, is it the obsession that erodes, or the little bit of remaining humanity?
They are people who grew up in a bad world, not remnants of a good world. The distortions in the body are the only way to survive in the world. Growth is not about "correcting evil and returning to the right way", but seeing another way of living in each other.
Intent: The weakness of human nature makes the world disorder. And the ultimate quality makes the world unable to recover. Redemption does not lie in annihilating either party, but in allowing light and darkness to flow again.
