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.

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?

Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!
【Exhilarating】【New Ultimate Path Plus Points】【Dry Humor】
The world plummets; who shall uphold the heavens?
Demons spawn from earth and sky, the Taoist stands valiant and resolute.
I am Yi Chen, 'Chen' as in dust, styled Yi Chengzi, eighteen years old, fearful of violent evil spirits, fond of making money.
With a cold heart and ruthless hands, he transmigrated to a bizarre world where goblins and malevolent spirits dwell, becoming the eldest senior brother of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, and as his master lay dying, he entrusted Yi Chengzi with the duty to uphold the path of benevolence and righteousness, to take good care of his younger Taoist brothers; he promised he would.
However, his understanding of the path of benevolence and righteousness differed slightly from that of his master.
What is benevolence? Slicing evil men and ghosts in half is benevolence.
What is righteousness? Smashing the heads of evil men and ghosts into their chests completes righteousness.
After his master's death, unable to awaken 'spiritual essence' for cultivation, he set upon an unorthodox path of cultivation with the help of the Golden Finger.
Facing the wolves eager for a fight after his master's demise, he struck with heavy fists, understanding the true essence of righteousness.
Confronting the malevolent spirits that stood in his way, he naturally reformed them with the iron fists of love.
He slew demons, exorcised evil, and tested his sword against various spiritual cultivators, enjoying the landscapes of the world.
When he reached the summit and looked around, he was shocked to find that demons were but minor afflictions and that this land and sky were falling... A millennium-long scheme, an eternal enigma, slowly unveiled itself.
Strange, it has arrived, and it does not die or perish.
Witnessing this scene, Yi Chen laughed. Even the malevolent dogs passing by his Taoist abode had to endure a couple of slaps; how dare someone be so disrespectful to him?
Yi Taoist stomped one foot and soared into the heavens!
The onlookers exclaimed in shock, "Taoist, stop fighting, the great 'Dao' is nearly worn away!"
