A Century-Long Pact Begins in the Scorching Apocalypse

Apocalyptic disasters + a century-long pact + spiritual qi revival + High Martial powers + spatial abilities + evolution + exotic beasts + the Chancellor's legacy

From the moment life first appeared on the Third Planet, from primitive humans in the age of ignorance to modern people in the age of technology, humanity has looked up at the stars ever since birth.

Yet they have never managed to explore deep beneath the ground. The thick crust has blocked every attempt to peer inside.

Humanity has explored less than ten percent of the ocean, and its deepest point is only eleven thousand meters down. The Earth's crust averages six thousand kilometers thick, a depth about which humanity knows nothing.

When the stars grow angry, natural disasters strike, and exotic beasts awaken, the people of the Third Planet, unable to travel through deep space, once again reach a crossroads that will determine their fate.

Will the end of the dinosaurs repeat itself this time? No one knows.

To establish virtue is to win people over through virtue. To establish one's teachings is to convince people through reason. And to establish merit means having the power of two thousand years in a single punch: standing firm in the world through strength. So Huang Deyan believes.

There's a cheat, but no System, and the protagonist is occasionally a bit of a bastard.

The blurb has plenty of punch. Read the story for yourself.
