Nine of the Ten Kings Are Gone, and I Am the One and Only!

(Not mindless, not wish-fulfillment, no invincible protagonist, no harem, one heroine, no System, no formulaic tropes, fantasy on the surface and science fiction underneath. Read with caution if that's not your thing.)

Amid the chaos of a world in turmoil, the “Gate” will descend from nine thousand kilometers above. The darkness and chaos will be quelled. Those who believe in Him will be guided to the afterlife, doubters will be exiled, and those who refuse will be erased...

Male lead:

I'm Gu Beisheng. My past has swept me into a vortex. I don't know what dangers lie hidden within it, or what opportunities may be waiting there.

Everything around me is being drawn along by the grinding stone. On this chessboard, am I the player or the piece?

This is a science-fiction epic. This is humanity's fight to save itself.

All life? HBI-2? The Farseeing Three-Star Project? The star map?

Perhaps one day, at some point in my life, I'll finally know who I am...

Female lead:

They say

when the stars' paths spill across the earth, the mountains and rivers of this world welcome the changing seasons.

I never thought this world needed saving, until I met a young man.

From that moment on, I began to look forward to his adventures.
