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

Yu Shang’s body was glowing with a strange light, and a special type of blood was boiling inside of him. It was pulsating, resonating with the Great Dao in the sky, and resonating with the laws of the world of the living, causing everything in the world to tremble, all living beings trembled.


Everyone, including the top experts and some celestial venerables, felt a throbbing in their souls, and their faces were as pale as snow.


On the vast battlefield, countless people fell to their knees.


Were they from Yu Shang’s clan? Everyone was shocked. At the same time, they began to wonder if the legendary person had returned and returned to the mortal world alive?


At that moment, not just the people on the battlefield, but the other clans and sects in the other provinces could sense it. Heaven and earth rumbled, and a wisp of mother qi spread out across the heavens. It was a shocking sight.
