The Remaining Lanterns of the Northern Wasteland

Bai Fan was originally a young herb collector in Wushi Town, Beihuang. He came from a humble background and his life was like a piece of grass. His father died in the mines and his mother disappeared. He grew up under the care of others, and was later sent to the Qinglan Sect to be the most humble medicine slave. He tested medicine, carried corpses, and washed slag. He lived a life lighter than a dog. On the way to deliver medicine, he was framed for stealing banned medicine and killing his fellow disciples. The law enforcement hall searched for his soul in public but failed to find it. They still broke his right leg in the name of "having strange thoughts", destroyed half of his meridians, and threw him into a mass grave to die. Deep in the pile of corpses, Bai Fan touched a black bone fragment covered with cracks. From then on, he was able to glimpse the deepest scene before death from the remaining memories of the dead. He used his obsession to steal his insights and find a way out for himself. But every time he uses it, he will be infected by the memory of the deceased, and gradually he can't tell what is other people's past and where is his own origin. When he crawled back to the world with his broken body, his hometown was in ruins, and the old lamp that had been left for him when he was a boy only had cracked shells and blood stains left. He originally just wanted to find out the death of his parents, find his missing mother, and save the life of the person who died because of him. But it was only later that he discovered that the Qinglan Sect was just a hand, and that the aristocratic family, the Book of Fate, the rift of reincarnation and the forbidden arts of the old era were the real abyss that swallowed people. In this world, the weak are not innocent, the dead may not be able to die, and the living may not live like a human being. That being the case—— If this fate refuses to give him a way to survive, he will fight for it himself. If Heaven wants to use sentient beings to pay his debts, he will ask Heaven for punishment.
