The Mist Burns the Spring

This work is based on the ancient theocratic system of the Flower Period: the ancient god Wu Ling set up a sacrificial contract at the Flower Temple. Mortals need to make wishes with the tip of their tongues, luck and other life sources. The gods secretly amplify their greed to cause self-destruction, harvesting obsessions and nourishing the divine body. The heavens acquiesce to this set of plundering rules, and mortals become recreational nourishment for the gods to continue their lives. Shen Yanzhi, the former champion of the dynasty, sacrificed his tongue for power, but ended up having his entire family slaughtered. His orphan Shen Wangci followed the notes of his ancestors to trace the truth, visited villages that had been victims of generations, and gathered survivors to form a resistance organization "Xingchun Society". The goal shifted from personal revenge to overthrowing the entire theocratic system that enslaves mortals. Shen Wangci used Wu Ling's only weakness for thousands of years - A Yan, a desireless mortal trapped in infinite reincarnation - as a bargaining chip to negotiate, forcing Wu Ling to remain neutral. After Tianjie noticed it, it sent troops to clear out the resisters. Wu Ling witnessed the tragedy of innocent mortals and was shaken and turned his back. In the end, mortals forced the heavens to revise the laws and abolish forced sacrifices.
