A Kindred Spirit Travels North

Shen Qingli can hear the voices of all things, but the price is a shortened lifespan for his loved ones. Heading north to break the curse, he discovers that the so-called “Mending of Heaven” is actually a human sacrifice orchestrated by the Heavenly Dao System. He refuses to play by its rules: shattering the Heaven-Mending Sword and using his own body as a furnace to refine what remains of the foul corruption. The highest form of heroism is not defeating something, but refusing to forget.
