Chen Dong

To rise from defeat; to revive amidst the dissipation. 
As the vast oceans turn to dust and the thunder and lightning fade away,
That strand of spiritual mist once again approaches our great world. 
With the shackles that bound our world now severed—
A whole new world of mystery and wonder awaits, 
As we turn the corner...

The Sacred Ruins
Is a story set in a post-apocalyptic world. A world that has recovered to a state that is roughly equal to our own world in terms of technology and culture, although its ancient history remains largely unknown. The story begins during the post-graduation trip of our protagonist, where he discovers some ancient ruins and witnesses “the great change”, an upheaval that changed everything. The changing earth not only brought about new, unexplored landscape but also sparked the evolution of all organisms. Plants and animals started gaining sentience and some humans obtained unimaginable powers. The legends, myths, and tales of old seemed to have suddenly come to life as the earth entered a new era where beasts and men formed factions, explored new lands and ultimately struggled for supremacy.
We follow the MC as he grows from being an eccentric young man into a badass expert warrior while meeting other funny characters and forming brotherly bonds. We watch as he falls into just as much hilarious situations as he does perilous ones, all the while wondering and slowly discovering the mysteries of this world. Just why was the world destroyed in the first place? Who or what had triggered this earth-shattering “change”? What profundities lie behind the process of evolution?

The Sacred Ruins

Outside of the valley, the golden falcon was extremely excited because Chu Feng was about to die; the Bird King himself had gone forth to seal the deal. 


However, soon afterward, he was suddenly frozen in place.


The peacock was also enjoying the delightful taste of imminent revenge, waiting to see Chu Feng being beheaded. However, at that moment, he felt a wave of cold spread throughout his body, sending chills from his head down to his feet.


"Oh god, your majesty!" the two bird cried in unison as the Bird King plummeted to the ground. How could this be?


Within the valley, the purple gold woodpecker was in immense pain. One of its wings had been severed; it was a serious trauma.


It was comparable to a human losing one of his arms—the ground was dyed red with fresh blood.


He fell to the ground and was rolling in pain; even a king level entity could not bear the pain of losing an arm. He miserably cried while drenched in his own blood.
