The Marriage Contract of Ten Thousand Races

Thirty thousand years ago, during the twilight of the gods, ten thousand races descended, and humanity was reduced to blood slaves and servants. Heaven decreed the 'Marriage Contract of Ten Thousand Races': if human marriage envoys intermarried with the hundred races, they could share divine powers and regain control of the world. For thirty thousand years, all marriage envoys died miserably. Chen Yuan, a seventeen-year-old mine slave, unearthed a fragment of the contract in Kunlun. With his mortal body, he braved the Dragon Palace, entered the sea of fire, journeyed to Ink City, and trod the Netherworld, signing blood oaths with the Dragon Princess, the Phoenix Saintess, the Mechanical Young Lord, and the Shadow Queen. Each contract granted him divine powers, but also added a shackle within him—he discovered he was the 'vessel' chosen by Heaven, destined to have the blood of all races drained to cultivate a heavenly puppet. At the assembly of ten thousand races, Heaven descended, demanding his sacrifice. But Chen Yuan tore apart all the contracts, sharing the karma with all beings: 'The marriage contract should not be a chain, but a bridge.' A slave, with a mortal body, rewrote the rules of Heaven, transforming the blood oath into a covenant of equality for all beings. — Description from novelcodex.org
