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

Before dawn, the world was in a hazy state. However, they regained a sense of familiarity as the outline of the shore came into view.


The three rushed onto the ground—they had finally escaped the vast waters and arrived on their home ground.


In the sea, the sea beast extended a scale-covered claw and waved at them before disappearing over the horizon, riding on the waves.


"If you find the opportunity, leave the Mediterranean Sea and head for the East Sea. We’ll take you to walk under the Fusang Tree and towards the eye of the ocean so that you can evolve into a dragon," Chu Feng shouted.


After listening to Chu Feng’s words, with a pfff, the sea beast dived deep into the sea and disappeared.


"He was silently cursing; this demon wants to make me into his mount? Tour the East Sea? Ha! I’ve heard that the place is home to true dragons!"
