Three Marks of Erosion

The world operates under a set of absolute laws called the "Spiritual Pivot." Balance is the only truth. Anomalies are the cancer of imbalance and must be eliminated. Yun Ying, a young herb collector who grew up on the edge of the Eternal Silence Forest, was born with the spiritual power of vegetation, wind and shadow. In order to hide this fatal "mark of anomaly", his mother made a decision when he was born: split the "seed" of power into two parts, sealing half of it in a three-phase seedling in a secret room and taking care of it under the care of an old doctor, while the other half grew up with him in ignorance. Fourteen years of peace are actually a countdown. When the seal begins to disintegrate, Lingshu's supervisors follow him everywhere. During the hunt, Yun Ying discovered that every leaf in the Forest of Eternal Silence remembered the past, and every gust of wind in Fengwei Gorge trapped the souls of the dead. On the Dry Bones Bridge, the bridge guard told him that the pale bones that made up this bridge were all anomalies from past generations, including his mother. The last words his mother left for him were: "The door is a mirror. The horror you see outside the door is often the eyes looking at you from inside the door." The night of the lunar eclipse is approaching, and the giant bronze door hanging upside down in the sky will open again. The Lingshu will hold a ceremony to sacrifice a new round of anomalies to maintain the "balance" of the world. Cloud Shadow must make a choice: hide forever and become a mortal; or step on the Bridge of Bones and break through the door when the lunar eclipse is complete - to find the hope that his mother spent fourteen years cultivating with herself as a nursery, to retrieve the complete "seed" and see the real world behind the door. Three traces are quietly eroding through the established boundaries. The old order builds high walls, but new roots can always find cracks.
