Gray Mist Descends: I Am the Guardian of Daxia's City Walls

[Growth-Oriented Protagonist + Urban Supernatural Powers + Gods’ Return + Urban Adventure + Passionate Growth]

It was only when a global geomagnetic storm tore reality apart that the truth emerged: gray mist swallowed civilization, eerie creatures known as “E” roamed the human world, and the ancient gods who guarded Huaxia had vanished all at once. While everyone believed the gods had been wiped out, Xu An, a high school senior and track-and-field athlete, pushed open a bronze door deep in his dreams, one engraved with the words “City Lord’s Manor.”

“You have been bound to the City of Gods System. Currently available to pursue: the Mayan Maize God (Favorability: 46%).”

“Only when the ninefold palace appears will you understand...” The youth, wrapped in lightning, shattered the void. Countless divine figures emerged behind him. “No gods in Daxia? The gods were just waiting for me, their city lord, to return!”

“I’ve found you, the new... guardian of the city.”

“When a civilization passed down like a flame collides with divine wonders capable of destroying the world, we choose to write a world of mountains and seas amid the ashes.” This story explores the radiant value of ordinary human nature in an extraordinary age, and the rebuilding of the relationship between gods and humankind.
