[Late Ming Cthulhu] [Hard Sci-Fi] [Two Heroines Finding Redemption] [High-Martial-Arts Wuxia]
Starting with a strange case in the late Ming dynasty, this story unveils a war spanning tens of thousands of years, in which mortals slay gods.
To survive, a frail young girl and a blind Japanese swordswoman forge a pact to kill a god.
"I am your eyes, and you are my blade."
"If a god stands in our way, then... we'll slay it together."
In the twelfth year of the Chongzhen era, the empire teeters on the brink of collapse, and famine leaves the land strewn with corpses.
Yet even as dynasties rise and fall in the mortal world, a greater crisis is quietly drawing near.
People kneel before the heavens, praying for the mercy of gods and Buddhas;
little do they know that there are no gods or Buddhas above the clouds, only higher-dimensional predators preparing to harvest civilization.
The emperor performs a fengshan ceremony on Mount Tai, hoping to keep the dragon veins sealed forever;
little does he know that beneath the dragon veins there is no fortune, only the wreckage of a starship radiating its influence across all things.
When the "gods" decide to reboot the world and treat all living beings as discarded specimens, no one can escape.
Four "mortals" chosen by fate set out on a journey to slay the gods!
[The Deadly Vessel: Lu Xiangsheng] The Ming dynasty's god of war, risen from the dead and fused with an alien limb, stands against divine might.
[The Legendary Martial Artist: Kageyama Chiyo] A blind Japanese swordswoman who severs karma with the martial arts of a mortal.
[Descendant of the Stars: Shen Qiluo] A mixed-race woman who has sailed around the world, holding the key to the old era and piecing together the last path to survival.
[The Wisdom of Mortals: Gu Xueting] A sheltered young lady with no strength to defend herself. She wields "investigating things to gain knowledge" as a blade, deconstructs the laws of the universe, and builds a cage for the gods!
Beneath the wreckage of the stars, even if we can't win, we'll make the gods bleed!
