Sword Mage

In this world, the vast continent is divided into a chessboard like a sea of ​​stars by countless city-states and super cities. There is no unified empire, no overriding kingship. Every super city is a country. Every city lord is the king of that land. What really makes these steel cities and majestic city-states operate stably is not government orders and contracts, but the power of extraordinary beings. Spiritual refining of metal is the only extraordinary power in this world. Among them, demigods are the ultimate in human power - a demigod capable of commanding a city with a population of hundreds of millions and making all legendary strong men bow their heads. But under the shadow of the city-state, there is another force hidden - the consortium. They do not need to directly control every city, but they can penetrate wealth and influence into every land through trade, finance, and transcontinental business networks. They are countries without borders, behemoths that span city-states and cultures. Among them, the Riekong Group, which once had a demi-god sword mage, was once the most dazzling presence in the Eastern Continent. In the era of the Sky Sword God, the Sky Group was not only a global super consortium, but also had a super city of its own. But the Sword God has passed away for decades, and the glory of the Riakong Group has also faded away. In this world structure, Lin Qi, a young swordsman who has been abandoned by the group for ten years, is returning step by step to the place that once shaped him and also abandoned him.
