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

A top grade expert had been slaughtered with his mountain-sized corpse sprawled across the ground. The Octopus King was no more.


In the air, the Sea God Tiger's eyes were ferocious—he let out a roar which sent golden ripples out from his mouth. The mountain peak below him was shattered with a thump after coming in touch with these waves.


Some of the mountainsides were cracked and even burst open.


He was somewhat resentful. Two powerful experts had ganged up on Chu Feng only to have one of them killed instead. This news, if spread, would only prove this human's great power.


To the Sea God Tiger, this was a stain and a disgrace to his martial accomplishments. He couldn't accept this outcome.


The Sea God Tiger's body surged with flames as if he was being immolated. Afterwards, a part of this scale armor came off and hovered in the air momentarily before shooting down amidst an eruption of golden yellow light.
