Humanity is insignificant in the face of disaster. A great flood submerged most of the world’s land. Countless people drowned, and no one knew how many had survived.
Human technology seemed laughable and powerless in the face of the disaster. The satellites went offline, and every technological device was swallowed by the flood.
With no lights, no phones, and no internet, the world fell silent. No one knew how many people had survived.
The world had changed. It was no longer a world belonging only to humanity. The trees had grown enormous, and wild animals and insects had become far more powerful. Only humanity seemed to have been forgotten by heaven. We remained unchanged, just as weak as before.
The Great Dao is fifty, yet one has escaped. Though heaven closed the innate path for humanity, it still opened a door to acquired strength.
Through our ingenuity, humanity fought against the beasts and gradually grew stronger. In time, we reclaimed the planet. Through cultivation, humanity reached the world’s pinnacle, with no way to grow stronger. Now we can only search for a path to the upper realm.
