[One Male Lead] [One Female Lead] [No System] [Post-Apocalyptic] [Superpowers]
Seven cities, five ruling clans, and a thousand years of prosperity are nothing more than a sliver of light that slipped through while the gods slept.
Lin Yuan and Su Nianqing first meet in the damp, chilly wind of a subway station. He carries the remnants of Pangu's Yang energy, while she conceals the unextinguished Yin flame of Nüwa. Neither realizes that when these two forces merge, they will become the key to opening Guixu.
A thousand years ago, the scholar Mo Cangming unearthed a throbbing black heart beneath Yangxu. The dreams of Azathoth, the blind god, began to seep into the world, while Cthulhu's Great Old Ones stirred beneath the rifts in the earth. Deep Ones built nests in the black tide, and Shoggoths imitated human voices in the dark. The five great families no longer guarded their authority, but the crumbling barriers of reality.
Now, the seal is breaking. A silver mark of the Apostles lies hidden beneath a sleeve, the shadow of the Yellow King hangs over Canglan, and even the strange blue mark on Su Nianqing's wrist is urging the end to come.
Only when they reach the edge of the world do they discover that the true abyss is not the awakening of the Outer Gods, but humanity's willingness to turn itself into a new prison in order to resist madness.
The sun sets, all things fall silent, and only that crack remains, beyond anyone's power to mend.
