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

At the end of the Earth, Number Nine’s white teeth appeared even more white under the setting sun. They were stained with blood and were somewhat terrifying.


He turned around and walked towards the depths of the battlefield, disappearing from Chu Feng’s sight.


He didn’t know why, but he felt a chill in his heart. He couldn’t see through number nine at all. According to Qing Yin, the number one mountain in the world had accepted the most talented geniuses as disciples in prehistoric times. It was the same in every era, but until now, there wasn’t a single person left.


It was truly chilling. Where did they all go?


How could Chu Feng not think about it? Because number nine seemed to want to possess him before, even though it seemed to be a test later on.


But this wasn’t enough to prove that there wasn’t a chilling secret behind it. The waves of time were splashing about. There was only one person left of such a powerful orthodoxy of the number one mountain in the world?
