Record of the World's Scar

In the waning years of the Great Qian Dynasty, the sky splits open to reveal the "Return to Void," unleashing a torrent of bone-eroding black rain that rots all living things. Shen Yan, a blind soldier and mere timekeeper from the remote Black Water Garrison, possesses an ancient "Weld Mark" within his body. This unique trait transforms him into the only "Mender" capable of repairing a world falling apart. Initially, Shen Yan refines his body amidst the ruins of war, using his own flesh and blood as solder to seal the cracks in the Great Wall. As his journey progresses, he becomes entangled in the sinister machinations between the crumbling dynasty and the Eclipse Sun Sect. He eventually uncovers a horrifying truth: the promised salvation is merely a deception designed to use humanity as fuel. The turning point arrives during the "Blood Feeding" catastrophe, when his close friend Zhao Li, desperate for power, succumbs to demonic corruption and forcibly transforms Shen Yan into a half-human, half-divine monstrosity. Teetering on the brink of madness, Shen Yan becomes covered in scales with molten gold eyes, evolving from a guardian into a feared "Living Yama" who terrifies even his former allies. In the final chapter, as heaven and earth collapse, Shen Yan reclaims his humanity. Rejecting both apotheosis and purification, he shatters the established rules with his hammer. He merges his essence with the Dao, welding himself into the very foundation of reality. This is a brutal epic of a mortal who refuses to be priced by fate, ultimately forging himself into the cornerstone of a new world.
