If you had the chance to start over, what would you do?
Lin Xi found her answer through blood and betrayal.
In her past life, she was the "Dawn Queen," ranked first in combat power. Yet her own family and closest friends betrayed her, casting her into a horde of corpses until nothing remained of her. Reborn 72 hours before the apocalypse began, she returned with ten years of memories and a boundless hatred. This time, she swore to live for no one but herself, fighting only for the order she believed in.
Time became her greatest weapon.
The accidentally activated [Eternal Time-Space Shop] let her freeze all things and accelerate cycles of rebirth. While others struggled over a single piece of bread, her supplies piled up like mountains. While her enemies were still painstakingly building their strength, her base was already rising from the ground. This was only the tip of the iceberg when it came to her many golden fingers.
From avenger to creator.
She settled scores with her enemies and gathered elites, building the last ideal nation, "The Other Shore," atop the ruins. But when the zombie tide receded and mythical beasts awoke, the "Observers" from beyond the sea of stars finally revealed the ultimate truth of the apocalypse: Earth was nothing more than a cruel breeding ground.
Faced with the predetermined choices of "restoring things to how they were" or "might makes right," Lin Xi smiled.
She raised her hand. Behind her were the gazes of countless followers; before her lay the fate of all civilization.
"I choose C."
"This time, I'll make the rules."
This is the story of a woman who, on the wasteland of the apocalypse, crowned herself empress for her own sake, for her followers, and for human civilization.
