My name is Jiang Ye, and I have been collecting corpses from the Yangtze River for three generations. There are "three don'ts" when fishing out corpses: don't fish out the corpse if you don't see it, don't fish it out after three dynasties, and don't fish out the unjust and brutal death. What happens if you commit a crime? I don't know before 2056. That year, the rules came into play. I broke the taboo on a business deal and got a green handprint on my back. Someone from the organization told me: Within forty-nine days, there will be water knocking on the door. If you don't die, the rules will follow you; if you die, half the town will be buried with you. Both sides are dead. Then get rid of it. The empress from the bottom of the river would project over to me from time to time, hanging upside down and asking me: "Grandson, won't you kowtow?" I raised my middle finger in front of the mirror and said, "Except for the God of Wealth, I will not kneel to anyone in this world."

Traveling to the world of immortality, Shi Yuan discovered a truth: The so-called cultivation of immortality means eating on corpses. Reiki is the marrow of civilization, and ascension is served on the table. He could see all this, so his cultivation was abolished, his soul mark was given, and he was thrown into a mass grave. When he was dying, he sacrificed all his emotions to the graveyard of time-- The mother's smile, the joy of holding the sword, and the throbbing of youth, all are handed over. In exchange for a ray of "final residual warmth" and a heart that will never warm up again. From then on, he became a civilized scavenger and a grave robber in the cemetery. Use your lifespan to fish for taboos, use your memory to exchange for strength, and use your sense of presence to borrow troops from history. Spiritual energy, flesh and blood, machinery... He has his sights set on the tombs of the heavens. And around me are a group of "residues" who have also been abandoned by the world: The girl who said "go away" actually meant "don't leave me", A mechanical symbiote that treats companion emotions as bug fixes, A talented singer who forgets a civilization when he sings a song, An old lunatic who turned himself into a relic. They come together for one thing only: Steal all the cemeteries and cast a pair of armor. Steal a fire for this era of cannibalism.

The virtual genocide has arrived, using "historical nothingness" as a blade to cut through time and space and devour civilization. The mountains and rivers of China have been broken for five thousand years, and only one city remains suspended in the cracks - this is the spirit of civilization, called "China". When the contemporary people are panicking for survival, the cultural context is shocked, and the heroic souls awaken from the long history one after another: Qin Shihuang, Tang Taizong, Zhuge Liang, Confucius... Emperors, generals, literati and sages, carrying eternal grievances and unfulfilled ideals, gather here. This is a civilized showdown that transcends force.
