In the twilight of civilization, scarlet fungi engulfed the surface of the earth, turning the world into a hunting ground for exotic plants and skeletal beasts. The last hope of mankind, the core of the "Ark Project", fell short due to betrayal on the eve of its launch.
Ling Chen, the founder of the underground imperial city "Shenting", was pushed into the collapsed core furnace by his most trusted brother. Carrying endless resentment and unwillingness, he was reborn and returned to the three months before the disaster.
This time he is no longer a hero with the world at heart and trying to save everyone. Having witnessed the ugliness and darkness of human nature, his only purpose is to build an eternal underground fortress for himself, a steel empire that is absolutely loyal to him alone.
Relying on the accurate prediction of the next ten years and the "Touch of the Abyss", the mysterious power that can control life and matter awakened by death, Ling Chen will become the only law and the only god in this doomsday wasteland.
The surface of the earth is the scarlet purgatory, and beneath the center of the earth is his throne.
(There is no heroine in this book, the killing is decisive, the protagonist is absolutely self-interested, not the Holy Mother.)
