Pyromancer

The End of the Betrothal

**Chronotopic Framework** The narrative inhabits a Sinocentric parallel universe where ancient cosmology permeates hypermodernity. Temporal strata include: - **2005**: The Gu clan immolation in Jiangnan’s lotus marshes—108 kin consumed by *Nirvanic Fire* bearing the Celestial Court’s sigils. - **2025**: Gu Chen’s descent from Kunlun’s glacial ziggurats, bearing twin legacies—the *Golden Meridian* pulse diagnosis and *Bagua* death touch refined over two decades. - **Warring States Era Echoes**: Spectral visions of the *Qilin’s martyrdom during the casting of the *Xuanyuan Blade* in molten stardust. Spatial axes oscillate between Kunlun’s *Nine Dragons Altar—where the *Shennong Crucible* brews primordial chaos—and Shanghai’s vertiginous skyscrapers, where boardroom mergers veil blood oaths. The apotheosis unfolds during a *Crimson Hyacinth Eclipse* where celestial mechanics and human will collide. --- #### **Protagonist & Existential Paradox** **Gu Chen**, last scion of the eradicated *Golden Pulse* lineage, embodies the healer-warrior antinomy: *a saint who must become deicide*. His vendetta against the Celestial usurpers unravels as he discovers his quintuple betrothals are geomancy rituals to siphon China’s *Dragon Vein Qi* into the Kunlun Abyss. The **cardinal conflict** bifurcates: 1. **Ontological**: His Hippocratic oath clashes with the *Qilin Scar*’s wrath—a living tattoo that erupts in fractal flames during berserker states. 2. **Cosmological**: Destroying the celestial hierarchy risks unstitching the *Three Realms’* Taiji membrane, unleashing primordial *Hundun* chaos. --- #### **Narrative Architecture** **1. Inciting Catalyst** Gu’s descent with a moth-eaten marriage scroll binding five aristocrats: - **Ye Qingxue (Metal)**: Cryogenic pharmaceutical magnate whose spinal *Bagua scars* resonate with Gu massacre coordinates. Her monthly *Golden Needle* detox sessions leak memories of the Celestial pyromancers. - **Lin Jiuge (Water)**: Silver-screen siren clutching a jade *bi-disc—plundered from Gu’s mother’s rigor mortis grip—containing microfilm exposing *Project Black Tortoise*’s transgenic plagues. **2. Ascending Peripeteia** **Su Hongxui (Wood)**, the whip-wielding martial matriarch, drags Gu into her clan’s armory to decipher a stela: *“When Phoenix Quintessence ignites the Qilin’s Crucible, Heaven’s Mandate shatters.”* This catalyzes tripartite trials: - **Corporate Geomancy**: Ye’s hostile takeover unleashes *Feng Shui* miasmas in Lujiazui’s stock exchange, turning bankers into *Qi*-vampiric husks. - **Cinematic Necromancy**: Lin’s film set becomes a *Jiangshi* hive; Gu deploys *Flying Silver Needles* to sever corpse-demons’ *Du Mai* energy channels. **3. Cataclysmic Crescendo** The fifth fiancée, **Dantai Mingyue (Fire),** unveils her role as a celestial sleeper cell during Hong Kong’s harbor conflagration. Amidst exploding LNG tankers, she hisses, “Your blood isn’t a key—it’s the enzyme for their theogony!” * The denouement at Kunlun’s zenith during the *Nine Luminaries Conjunction: - **Ethical Abyss**: Ye self-injects a *Huangdi*-strain retrovirus, demanding Gu annihilate four fiancées for the antidote. - **Cosmogonic Duel**: Gu simultaneously channels the *Shennong Crucible* to filter tainted *Qi* while parrying Dantai’s *Xingtian* mech-suit with the *Xuanyuan Blade*’s spacetime-slashing edge. **4. Ambiguous Resolution** The epilogue reveals Gu severing the Celestial *Qi* umbilical at the cost of his Qilin essence. Three cosmic riddles endure: - The absent *Purple Pivot Star* in the betrothal astrolabe hints at a sixth fiancée—Gu’s supposedly stillborn twin. - Dantai’s quantum-entangled AI core (exposed via retinal glitches) probes whether synthetic consciousness can house *human* souls. - A post-credits hologram shows Lin decrypting footage of Gu’s father preserved in a *Project Kunlun 002* cryopod guarded by terracotta androids.

Arch-Nexus: Astral sage's path to transidence

"Truth is not always known ,what is known need not necessarily be truth"-Vishnugupt Chanikya(i think so not sure) Truth is graced upon and persieved by only those who know how to look for and are willing to seek it. Truth which can prove correct was termed as 'science' by humans and that which cannot be was termed 'mystery' ,'legend' and even 'fantasy' .Whatever be the reality of the 'unverified' it was true that majority of humanity considered them nothing but fallacy ;one of these many 'unverified' facts was that "We are alone in the known universe" ,Despite many sightings of inexplicable objects and signals humans still liked to indulge in their beliefs why? it was convenient to have peace of mind while picking fights among themselves among themself .....and they would surely continue to do the same .....if and only if 'those' incident hadn't shaken their very world view YEAR:2025 people around the globe suddenly died at nearly same time ,this wouldn't be much alarm globally if the cause of death was known to mankind or within the scope of understanding... ,but the reason it caused alarm was because the actual reason for their death couldn't be confirmed by any field of medicine........for there were no radiation ,chemical ,virus or injury found on victims body The deaths almost seemed like the vital organs reaching a mutual agreement to shut down at same time and later convincing rest of the body to shut down !.........well it was so because it was true..... (nah I wouldn't give away reason this early as it is a spoiler ,hmm where did I leave, oh yeah....) Be as it may these deaths were termed 'bio blackout ' and though it's reason being a mystery, And that was the kicker. Mass hysteria ensued across the world, while the folks with little senses were wracking their brain on 'why? and how?'............ people totally glossed over 'who?' who had caused these 'deaths'? And you know what, it turns out that there was a who. It was the being who had caused the deaths in the first place - and it was unlike anything humanity had ever seen before. But who, or what, was it? And why had it chosen this moment to make its presence known? ,and.....oh were the 'dead' ...dead? (nah! ain't nobody there dead if some people are dead and others have gone mad then what am I gonna write story about ,eh? asylum?) As you might have guessed story is about 'dead' transmigrated souls ,in particularly most about a crackpot who went ahead and became a certified nutjob whom no asylums in the world dared to admit him to be crazy af, why? well you see this particular NJ despite being NJ was also powerhouse ,a tycoon ,a troublemaker, Philanthropist ,and few other things and most of which were only his side hussle compared to his main job of a Menace (wut? that much synopsis was not enough? really?.....then I'll add some more this novel is gonna be an adventure through modern fantasy world wherein the mc is thrust into with bare minimum support ,while is expected to fend for himself and thrive in a short period of time ,(note :mc is going to be under mage category not those overused necro-gang or chunni /lame pyromancer sh- you get it when you read it)if he doesn't want to get swept under greed 'foreign' forces that is. what you're still here? have something to ask? ask away)
