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?

If you are looking for a funny and unique novel that is free from the cliches of reincarnation and cultivation, this might just be what you are looking for. The story develops quite slowly for the first ten chapters or so but becomes much better paced afterwards.

The Sacred Ruins

Time passed, the great era shook, and a new era began.


When the Celestial Emperor was first established, the four seas rumbled, and divine patterns of order appeared, illuminating the various worlds and resonating with all races.


At this moment, all the evolvers knew that the heaven and earth were one, and the Emperor Throne Rose, illuminating the world.


That Aura was incomparably terrifying, drawing in the great will power of all living beings and receiving endless dao luck. It was like a galaxy hanging down, pouring into the battlefield of the two worlds.


Everyone could feel that Gu Qing had broken through the limits of the peak of the Immortal King Realm, stepping into a brand new domain. His divine might fluctuated, as vast as the universe and the Sea of stars. Supreme divine chains of order weaved through his pores, they entwined on his dao bones, interweaved in his flesh and blood, diffused in his soul light, and condensed in his true spirit imprint.
