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

No sooner had he replied than Chu Feng realized he had be tricked by Lin Naoi. He had just divulged part of the truth.


That was because before now, he didn't know the man with the red mark between his brows was called Han Fei. He knew nothing about the man.


Chu Feng turned back to gaze at this pure and brilliant ex-girlfriend with complex emotions. She was indeed just as intelligent as she was in the past. She had taken advantage of his distraction while gazing at the golden egg to ambush him, making him carelessly reveal this secret.


Lin Naoi's hair hung loosely behind her and shone with a lustrous glow. Her countenance, the very picture of perfection, was overcome by an odd expression. However, she didn't ask more.


Chu Feng turned back without trying to explain or cover it up—extra words were useless since both of them were intelligent people. He looked towards the depths of the space and saw brilliant specks of light. It seemed like an extremely tranquil holy land.
