The Abyss That Illuminates the Bones

My name is Lu Linyuan. I used to be a bookkeeper.

Then I discovered that even people's lifespans, the fortunes of dynasties, and the very existence of the world were written in a rotten ledger.

Those above feasted in years of plenty while burying droughts in my family's backyard. The Immortal Court extended its life by a day, and cold rain fell over Hebei Province for a day. To create a "perfect golden age," they erased three thousand children before they were even born.

They call this "bearing the burden."

What an ugly name. This isn't bearing a burden. It's a debt.

Now I'm going to audit the ledger. No immortal arts, no weapons, just one principle:

Whoever owes the debt must pay it themselves.

Beneath the Heavenly Abyss, the forgotten people of the mortal world have begun knocking at the door.
