The Silver Tide of a Frozen World

“The Central Lands died of clinging to the old ways, the Northern Wastes died of poverty, and the Western Continent died of dependence.

When the Great Frost arrived and the Silverflow was cut off, none of the three civilizations was wrong. They simply had nowhere left to go.”

There are no demons, no corrupted Heavenly Dao, and no mastermind lurking behind the scenes to cause disasters.

The cold wave, the severing of the Star Silver flow, the pestilential miasma, and the famine are all systemic disasters unfolding objectively on a cosmic scale.

The Central Lands' civil strife, the Northern Wastes' southward advance, and the Western Continent's eastward expansion are all survival responses by the great civilizations as they face their doom.

The enemy is not any one person, but the desperate situation itself.

This is no struggle between good and evil. It is three civilizations' ways of staying alive, colliding until they shatter the old world.
