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

“I wanted to be too powerful, to dominate the heavens, to kill countless people, to look down on a glorious era, to crush all my opponents in the same world. That was how I rose to power. After a long period of torment, I opened up the Dao Earth, created a supreme breathing technique, and became the founder of a sect. “In the end, I had to go through such a death tribulation, silently waiting for death. It was both sad and laughable.”


Stone fetus spoke. He was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. His eyes were dim, and his gaze was unfocused. His soul light was disintegrating and disintegrating, and the dao ancestor material continued to drift out.


He sat there cross-legged, unable to move. The life force and vitality around him was rapidly draining away, and his dao body was rapidly declining. A rotten aura surrounded him.
