Three thousand years after the gods fell, nine out of ten humans are born without spiritual roots. They are known as mortal bones.
Spiritual energy cannot enter mortal bones, and their lives rarely extend beyond seventy years. They till spirit fields, mine spirit ore, and perform forced labor for registered cultivators.
Those without a registry who draw in spiritual energy are called spirit thieves. The Sky Patrol Bureau hunts them down, and their entire families are punished for their crimes.
Jiang Ming is a mortal bone from the nineteenth branch of the Yunlu Jiang Clan. His spiritual aptitude test showed no markings, so he was assigned to the mortal battalion, where he served as bait, descended into mines, and endured the lash.
