Eternal Night Debt Book

The sun has set for three hundred and twenty-seven years, and the world has fallen into eternal night. Human beings huddle around fire springs to survive, and cultivating immortals has become a business: spiritual stones are money, spiritual roots can be rented, and skills need to be recharged. The seven immortal sects offer "repair loans", and compound interest ties people into debt slaves. There is a debt book that cannot be repaid in their souls. Shen Yan is the lowest level corpse collector at Qingxi Ferry, carrying a debt of 3,000 spirit stones left by his late father. In the "Styx Election" held every seven years this year, he was forced into the river - he crossed seven water passes against the current in ten days. If he passed the pass, he could get rid of all his debts. But for decades, no one who entered had ever come back. He understood clearly at the first level: anything upright in the water with only the top of his head exposed cannot be touched; each level corresponds to an old rule passed down from generation to generation by those who fish for corpses. Relying on half of "Shui Jing Zhu Yao" left by his father, he survived three levels, but the group was destroyed at the fourth level. The moment he was about to die, he awakened the watermark ability "retrospection" - after death, he could go back to three days ago and still remember everything. After dying and coming back again and again, Shen Yan, together with the accountant, the paper maker, and the demoted disciples of the Immortal Sect, went upstream and approached the truth step by step: the River Styx was not a trial ground at all, but a factory where the Immortal Sect used the souls of living people to refine the "Yin Ling Stone"; and the extinction of the sun was not a natural disaster - it was the seven Immortal Sects who locked it up with their own hands in order to protect this Yin debt business. Whether the debt can be repaid, he doesn't know. All he knew was that someone should smash this mill that had been grinding for three hundred years.
