Ashes of Light

Introduction to the work "Above the Ashes": After the sky split, black mist swallowed half of the country, ghosts were rampant, and the world became a purgatory. Duanyunguan, this lonely city nailed to the edge of the world, is the last barrier. Lu Chengye, the orphan of the guard general, held the rusty sword left behind by his father and grew up in the wind, sand and blood. He has seen the most tragic sacrifices and tasted the most bitter betrayal - the powerful people in Zhongzhou regard the people as trivial, the spirits in the black mist are peeping for life, and the "spirit blood" flowing in his chest is a glimmer of light against chaos, and also the coveted original sin. When the eclipse spirit general breaks through the pass, the food and grass in Zhongzhou is cut off, and when the cracks in the world become wider and wider, this silent young man finally draws his sword. The rusty sword drinks blood, and golden light suddenly appears. What he wants to guard is not just a barrier, but the spark that has not been extinguished under the black fog, the dignity of the forgotten, and the precarious balance between the two worlds. From Duanyunguan to the hinterland of Zhongzhou, from the abyss of the ashes to the chaos outside the world, he walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, saw glimmers of humanity, and finally understood: the so-called protection is never about being trapped in an isolated city, but about opening a way out of despair, so that the fire of civilization can start a prairie fire again on the ashes. This is a story about how a lonely guardian uses his flesh and blood and faith to hold up a clear sky in a broken world.
