The Broken Lamp Guards the Mountains and Rivers

Lin Qi, a beggar, lit a broken lamp on the edge of freezing to death on Corpse Street in Bianjing. When the lights were lit, his eyes were bleeding with gold, and he caught a glimpse of the horrifying scene of the dying underground dragon veins. Since then, he has been forced to embark on a "night watch" path of no return. Hold a lantern to peek into the secluded area, step on the pulse to find traces, stabilize the ground and any mountains, dredge the rivers and divert the water... Every breakthrough comes at the cost of loss: memories, emotions, senses, and even fragments of humanity. He grew up from a humble beggar to a local official who protected a place, and was eventually awarded the title of National Master, facing the threat of the survival of the Zerg and civilization outside the territory. However, the stronger the power, the further away from "people". When the mountains and rivers were about to collapse, he burned everything to achieve the final state - to fit in with the mountains and rivers. The body transformed into the Tao, and the consciousness merged into the dragon veins of the Nine Provinces, becoming the last rule for the sustainability of civilization. This is not a story about becoming a god. This is a tragic epic about how a mortal used his broken body as a candle, step by step, to burn himself into an ever-lasting lamp that illuminates the eternal night, just to protect the mountains and rivers behind him and his homeland, and thousands of living beings. I guard the mountains and rivers with my remaining lamp, burning this body to illuminate the eternal night.
