[After Waking Up] I Cultivate Immortality in the Apocalypse

An ensemble story.

The rules have collapsed, but civilization still draws breath.

The planet lost the war, and its world source was taken.

“Dao corruption” and “purple qi” flood in, while the native energy known as “Stagnant Aether” falls silent.

Under this double erosion, modern civilization crumbles,

leaving behind a wasteland ravaged by zombies, lingering echoes, and monsters born of urban legends.

The ancient organization known as the “Watchers” emerges from the shadows,

only to discover that what they have been protecting

is a broken ship riddled with holes.

These are the worst of times, with civilization’s flame flickering on the verge of extinction.

They are also the best of times,

with heroes and tyrants alike rising from the dust.

What they watch over is not only the people surviving among the ruins,

but also the last glimmer of humanity

in the face of utter despair.
