Breakthrough, the One Heart Three-Orifice Realm!

While the hidden masterminds across the Nine Continents and Four Seas were left dumbfounded and questioning their lives, Ning Zheng, the instigator behind it all, was happily slacking off in the Mountain Villa.

"This fish is supposed to be assembled like this."

"Ah, like this?"

A patchwork fish lay in front of Ning Zheng.

Since yesterday, he had started playing the most popular patchwork fish game of the moment.

Yes.

It was the game that had become popular just yesterday—the Ashes Jigsaw.

Officially spearheaded by the Xin Dynasty, it had teachers in every city lead children in schools, while scholars in the academies conducted a "handicraft class" to assemble Ashes.

This move was meant to quickly dispel the people's fear.

It let the people gradually adapt through the medium of games.

After all, in the future, stepping on an earthworm, killing a chicken, killing a fish, or cooking a dish could all have a fifty percent chance of producing Ashes. If every household failed to adapt to living alongside Ashes, the dynasty would inevitably descend into chaos.

This had to become part of everyday life!

Fortunately, the people of this world had suffered through disaster after disaster. With Ashes everywhere and their ancestral graves forged into city walls to protect them, they had seen enough to become worldly-wise. After being shocked for more than half a month, they had now completely grown accustomed to it.

And the dynasty had done more than popularize this kind of "handicraft class." It had also posted an official government notice.

Effective immediately, the Imperial Court would allocate funds and, according to household registration, distribute one Low-grade Soul Summoning Banner to every household. It could store Ashes, sort them according to obsessions, and allow the authorities to recycle the Ashes!

This was a major undertaking.
