Prayers to the Gods

Wen Shu takes on a job that's certain to kill her.

She has seven days to repair the rift. If she fails, her soul will be scattered.

In the mists of Xushan, she meets Qi.

People have worshiped him for thousands of years, yet no one dares approach him. He has no place in the divine register, no name or surname. For countless millennia, he has guarded the rift, barely able to maintain a physical form.

Wen Shu has no interest in forming a bond.

A low-level wage worker and an unregistered ancient god have no business discussing anything but a deal. She lays out her terms: "You provide the clues, I'll do the work. Once it's fixed, I'm gone."

But when disaster strikes, this broken god, who can barely form a sentence, doesn't hesitate to take a fatal blow for her.

He detonates his divine core and shatters into silver dust.

Forced to hold the last glimmer left in his palm, she also takes hold of an ancient secret that should never have belonged to her.
